Question - 1

In order to have maximum current from a battery in an external wire of resistance R, the cells must be an external wire of resistance R, the cells must be arranged in such a combination so that the internal resistance r of the battery is

  • A r = R if cells are connected in series
  • B r = R if cells are connected in parallel
  • C r = R if cells are arranged in series-parallel combination
  • D r < R if cells are arranged in series-parallel combination

Question - 2

  • A increases
  • B decreases
  • C remains unchanged
  • D decreased for thin rod but increases for thick rod

Question - 3
