There are a large number of cells available, each marked $(6 \,V , 0.5 \,\Omega)$ to be used to supply current to a device of resistance $0.75 \,\Omega$, requiring $24 \,A$ current. How should the cells be arranged, so that power is transmitted to the load using minimum number of cells?

(b)

$E=6 \,V$

$r=0.5 \,\Omega$

$R=0.75 \,\Omega$

$i=24 \,\Omega$

$S(0.5)=P(0.75)$

$2 \,s=3 p$

$i=\frac{P S E}{S r+P R}$

$24=\frac{P\left(\frac{3}{2} P\right) 6}{15 P}$

$P=4$ rows

$S=6$ cells
