Question:medium

Five cells each of emf \(E\) and internal resistance \(r\) send the same amount of current through an external resistance \(R\) whether the cells are connected in parallel or in series. Then the ratio \(\frac{R}{r}\) is:

Show Hint

For the same current in both series and parallel configurations, the external resistance must equal internal resistance.
