The $n$ rows each containing $m$ cells in series are joined in parallel. Maximum current is taken from this combination across an external resistance of $3 \,\Omega$ resistance. If the total number of cells used are $24$ and internal resistance of each cell is $0.5 \,\Omega$ then
A$m = 8,n = 3$
B$m = 6,n = 4$
C$m = 12,n = 2$
D$m = 2,n = 12$

C$m = 12,n = 2$
c (c) Total cells = $m × n = 24 $.... $(i)$
For maximum current in the circuit $R = \frac{{mr}}{n}$
$==>$ $3 = \frac{m}{n} \times (0.5)$
$==>$ $m = 6n$ ..... $(ii)$
On solving equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get $m = 12, n =2$

Three equal resistors connected in series across a source of $e.m.f.$ together dissipate $10\, watt$. If the same resistors are connected in parallel across the same $e.m.f.$, then the power dissipated will be .............. $watt$
During an experiment with a metre bridge, the galvanometer shows a null point when the joceky is pressed at $40.0 \ cm$ using a standard resistance of $90 \ \Omega$, as shown in the figure. The least count of the scale used in the meter bridge is $1 \ mm$. The unknown resistance is:
A cell of $emf\;4\,V$ and internal resistance $0.5\,\Omega$ is connected to a $7.5\,\Omega$ external resistance. The terminal potential difference of the cell is $.....\,V$.
$\mathrm{A}$ circuit is comprised of eight identical batteries and a resistor $R = 0.8\,\Omega$ . Each battery has an $\mathrm{emf}$ of $1.0\, V$ and internal resistance of $0.2\,\Omega$ . The voltage difference across any of the battery is ............. $V$
A uniform wire of resistance $20\,ohm$ having resistance $1\Omega /m$ is bent in the adjoining form of a circle as shown in the figure. If the equivalent resistance between $M$ and $N$ is $1.8 \,\Omega $, then the length of the shorter section is ................ $m$
In an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a cell by potentiometer, it is found that the balance point is at a length of $2\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $5\,\Omega $ resistance; and is at a length of $3\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $10\,\Omega $ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is, then ................ $\Omega $
