Q.21 A cell of emf E and internal resistance r is connected across an external resistance R. Plot a graph showing the variation of P.D. across R, verses R.
When the cell of emf E and internal resistance r is connected across an external resistance R, the relationship between the voltage across R is given R by

-
The graphical representation of voltage across R and the resistance R is as shown.
-
This graph shows that potential difference incrc3scs with resistance after a certain value, it becomes constant equal to E.
Short Answer
Q.22 First a set of n equal resistors of R each are connected in series to a battery of emf E and internal resistance R. A current I is observed to flow. Then the n resistors are connected in parallel to the same battery. It is observed that the current is increased 10 times. What is ‘n’?
Ans:
Q.23 Let there be n resistors with and Show that when they are connected in parallel, the resultant resistance and when they are connected in series, the resultant resistance. Interpret the result physically.
And.
-
In Fig. (b), provides an equivalent route as in Fig. (a) For current. But in addition there are routes by the remaining resistors.
-
Current in Fig.(b) > current in Fig. (a). Effective Resistance in Fig. (b) Second circuit evidently affords a greater resistance.
-
You can use Fig. (c) and (d) and prove
