$A$ cell sends a current through a resistance $R$ for time $t$. Now the same cell sends current through another resistance $r$ for the same time. If the same amount of heat is developed in both the resistances,then the internal resistance of the cell is:

  • A
    $\frac{R+r}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{R-r}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{Rr}{2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{Rr}$

$10$ identical cells,each of potential $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are connected in series to form a closed circuit. What is the potential difference across any $3$ cells (in $E$)?

Two sources of equal emfs $E$ are connected in series. This combination is connected to an external resistance $R$. The internal resistances of the two sources are $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ $(r_{1} > r_{2})$. If the potential difference across the source of internal resistance $r_{1}$ is zero,then the value of $R$ will be:
