Four identical cells of emf E and and internal resistance r are to be connected in series . Suppose if one of the cell is connected wrongly , the equivalent emf and effective internal resistance of the combination is

A

2E and 2r

B

2E and 4r

C

4E and 2r

D

4E and 4r

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


If all are connected correctly, `E_("eff")= 4E`
`r_("eff")= 4r`
Now `E_("eff") = 2E rArr r_("eff")= 4r`
