The current provided by a battery is maximum when:

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:

Explain the 'Mixed Connection' of cells and derive an expression for its equivalent emf and current.

$A$ cell of emf $1.2 \ V$ and internal resistance $2 \ \Omega$ is connected in parallel to another cell of emf $1.5 \ V$ and internal resistance $1 \ \Omega$. If the like poles of the cells are connected together,the emf of the combination of the two cells is (in $V$)

When cells are connected in parallel,then

$A$ battery of $24$ cells,each of emf $1.5\,V$ and internal resistance $2\,\Omega$,is to be connected in order to send the maximum current through a $12\,\Omega$ resistor. The correct arrangement of cells will be:
