$12$ cells,each having the same $emf$ $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are connected in series,but some cells are wrongly connected. This arrangement is connected in series with an ammeter and two additional cells (each of $emf$ $E$ and internal resistance $r$). The current is $3 \, A$ when the cells and the battery aid each other,and it is $2 \, A$ when they oppose each other. The number of cells wrongly connected is:

$A$ resistor of resistance $R$ is connected between the terminals of a cell of $\operatorname{emf} E$ and internal resistance $r$. If $I$ is the current through the circuit,the terminal potential difference of the cell is given by:

Two cells of equal $e.m.f.$ $E$ and of internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ are connected in series. Now they are connected to an external resistance $R$. It is observed that the potential difference across the first cell becomes zero. The value of $R$ will be:

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 $\Omega$)

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:
