Two cells, e.m.f. of each is E and internal resistance R. The maximum energy given to the resistor will be, only when
A
R=r/2
B
R=r
C
R=2r
D
R=0
Answer
R=r/2
Explanation
Solution
For maximum energy, we have
External resistance of the circuit
= Equivalent internal resistance of the circuit i.e. R=2r
