The potential difference between the terminals of a cell is $20 \ V$ when a current of $2 \ A$ flows through the circuit. When the direction of current in the circuit is reversed,the potential difference between the terminals of the cell is $30 \ V$. The internal resistance of the cell is (in $\Omega$)

Two identical cells give the same current through an external resistance of $2 \Omega$ regardless of whether the cells are connected in series or in parallel. The internal resistance of each cell is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ cell of emf $10 \text{ V}$ and internal resistance $3 \Omega$ is connected in parallel with another cell of emf $7 \text{ V}$ and internal resistance $\frac{3}{5} \Omega$,such that their positive terminals are joined together and their negative terminals are joined together. Their combined positive terminal is joined with the negative terminal,and their combined negative terminal is joined with the positive terminal of a third cell of emf $20 \text{ V}$ with internal resistance $2 \Omega$. The combination can be replaced by a battery of emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$. The values of $E$ and $r$ are respectively:

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 $\Omega$)

Two sources of equal $emf$ $(\varepsilon)$ are connected in series to an external resistance $R$. The internal resistances of the two sources are $R_1$ and $R_2$ $(R_2 > R_1)$. If the potential difference across the source having internal resistance $R_2$ is zero, then:

Two cells $E_1$ and $E_2$ having equal $EMF$ $E$ and internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ respectively are connected in series. This combination is connected to an external resistance $R$. It is observed that the potential difference across the cell $E_1$ becomes zero. The value of $R$ will be
