When two identical cells are connected either in series or in parallel across a $2 \ \Omega$ resistor,they send the same current through it. The internal resistance of each cell is: (in $\Omega$)

When two identical batteries of internal resistance $1 \Omega$ each are connected in series across a resistor $R$,the rate of heat produced in $R$ is $P_1$. When the same batteries are connected in parallel across $R$,the rate of heat produced is $P_2$. If $P_1 = 2.25 P_2$,then the value of $R$ is (in $\Omega$)

$A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is connected with an external resistance $R$,then the potential difference across the cell is $V$. The internal resistance of the cell will be:

Eight identical cells,each having an electromotive force $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are connected in series to form a closed circuit. An ideal voltmeter is connected across $2$ cells. The voltmeter will read ........ $E$.

Twelve cells,each having emf $E$ volts,are connected in series and are kept in a closed box. Some of these cells are wrongly connected with positive and negative terminals reversed. This $12$-cell battery is connected in series with an ammeter,an external resistance $R$ ohms,and a two-cell battery (two cells of the same type used earlier,connected perfectly in series). The current in the circuit when the $12$-cell battery and $2$-cell battery aid each other is $3 \text{ A}$,and it is $2 \text{ A}$ when they oppose each other. Then,the number of cells in the $12$-cell battery that are connected wrongly is:
