A voltmeter is connected in parallel with a variable resistance $R$ which is in series with an ammeter and a cell as shown in the figure. For one value of $R$, the meters read $0.3 \,A$ and $0.9 \,V$. For another value of $R$ the readings are $0.25 \,A$ and $1.0 \,V$. What is the internal resistance of the cell is ......... $\Omega$

$^-0.9=^-E-^+0.3 r$

$1=E-0.25 r$

$0.1=0.05 r$

$r=\frac{10}{5}=2 r$

    Consider a block of conducting material ofresistivity '$\rho$' shown in the figure. Current '$I$' enters at '$A$' and leaves from '$D$'. We apply superp osition principle to find voltage '$\Delta  V$ ' developed between '$B$' and '$C$'. The calculation is done in the following steps:
    $(i)$ Take current '$I$' entering from '$A$' and assume it to spread over a hemispherical surface in the block.
    $(ii)$ Calculatefield $E(r)$ at distance '$r$' from $A$ by using Ohm's law $E = \rho  j$, where j is the current per unit area at '$r$'.
    (iii) From the '$r$' dependence of $E(r)$, obtain the potential $V(r)$ at $r$.
    (iv) Repeat $(i), (ii)$ and $(iii)$ for current '$I$' leaving '$D$' and superpose results for '$A$' and '$D$'.

    When two identical batteries of internal resistance $1 \Omega$ each are connected in series across a resistor $\mathrm{R}$, the rate of heat produced in $R$ is $J_1$. When the same batteries are connected in parallel across $R$, the rate is $\mathrm{J}_2$. If $\mathrm{J}_1=2.25 \mathrm{~J}_2$ then the value of $\mathrm{R}$ in $\Omega$ is
