AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the efficiency of a cell when the external resistance is increased by six times, given that the initial efficiency is 60%. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Efficiency**: The efficiency (η) of a cell is defined as the ratio of output power to input power. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \eta = \frac{P_{\text{out}}}{P_{\text{in}}} ...
