एक समान प्रतिरोध \(R\) के \(10\) प्रतिरोधों को \(E\) विद्युत वाहक बल तथा नगण्य आन्तरिक प्रतिरोध की एक बैट्री के साथ श्रेणी क्रम में जोड़ा गया है। जब इन्हें समान बैट्री के साथ समान्तर क्रम में जोड़ा जाता है, तो धारा \(n\) गुनी हो जाती है। \(n\) का मान है :

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
