The `n` rows each containinig `m` cells in series are joined parallel. Maximum current is taken from this combination across jan external resistance of `3 Omega` resistance. If the total number of cells used are 24 and internal resistance of each cell is `0.5 Omega` then

Total number of cell mn=24
For maximum current when`(mr)/(n)`=R (using maximum power transfer theorem)
`rArr`   0.5m=3n
`rArr`     m=`(3n)/(0.5)`=6n 
`therefore`   `6nxxn`=24    `rArr`     n=2 
and `mxx2`=24 `rArr`     m=12

A cell which has an emf 1.5 V is connection series with an external resistance of 10Omega . If the potential difference across the cell is 1.25 V, then the internal resistance of the cell is ("in" Omega)

In a mixed grouping of identical cells, five rows are connected in parallel and each row contains 10 cells. This combination sends a current I through an external resistance of 20Omega. if the emf and internal resistance of each cell is 1.5 V and 1 Omega, respectively then find the value of I.

Two similar cells, whether joined in series or in parallel, have the same current through an external resistance of 2Omega . The internal resistance of each cell is :

To get maximum current in a resistance of 3Omega , one can use n parallel rows of m cells each (connected in series). If the total no. of cells is 24 and the internal resistance is 0.5 ohm then

N identical cells whether joined together in series or in parallel, give the same current, when connected to an external resistance of 'R'. The internal resistance of each cell is:-
