CUET · PHYSICS · PYQ PAPER 2025

Identify the correct statement(s) among the following:
(A) If three electrical cells each of emf, E and internal resistance r are connected in series to a resistance R, the current drawn from them is 3E/(R+3r).
(B) If these three cells are connected in parallel combination, across resistance R then the current drawn will be E/(3R+r).
(C) If the two cells are connected in series and then one in parallel which are then connected across resistance R, then the current drawn will be 2E/(2R+2r).
(D) In a mixed grouping of cells, current will be maximum when total external resistance is equal to total equivalent internal resistance.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A) only
  2. B (A) and (D) only
  3. C (A), (C) and (D) only
  4. D (D) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) Correct: In series, \(E M F=3 E\) and total internal resistance \(=3 r\). By Ohm's Law, \(I=\frac{3 E}{R+3 r}\) (D) Correct: Maximum current is drawn in a mixed grouping when the external resistance ( \(R\) ) matches the total equivalent internal resistance of the cells. B)…
