For the two cells having same EMF E and internal resistance r, the current passing through the external resistor 6 \(\Omega\) is same when both the cells are connected either in parallel or in series. The value of internal resistance r is ___________ \(\Omega\).
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 6
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In series, \(i_{1} = \frac{2E}{6+2r}\)
In parallel, \(i_{2} = \frac{E}{6 + \frac{r}{2}}\)
\(i_{1} = i_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{2E}{6+2r} = \frac{E}{6 + \frac{r}{2}}\)
\(12+r = 6+2r\)
\(\Rightarrow r = 6\Omega\)
In parallel, \(i_{2} = \frac{E}{6 + \frac{r}{2}}\)
\(i_{1} = i_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{2E}{6+2r} = \frac{E}{6 + \frac{r}{2}}\)
\(12+r = 6+2r\)
\(\Rightarrow r = 6\Omega\)
