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 ___________ \(\Omega\).

  1. A 3
  2. B 4
  3. C 9
  4. D 6
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In series, \(i_{1} = \frac{2E}{6+2r}\) In parallel, \(i_{2} = \frac{E}{6 + \frac{r}{2}}\) \(i_{1} = i_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{2E}{6+2r} = \frac{E}{6 + \frac{r}{2}}\) \(12+r = 6+2r\) \(\Rightarrow r = 6\Omega\)
