    A battery consists of a variable number (n) of identical cells, each having an internal resistance r connected in series. The terminals of the battery are short-circuited. A graph of current (\[l\] in the circuit versus the number of cells will be as shown in figure

    A)

    B)           

    C)

    D)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    For a two cell battery                                                                                                \[I=\frac{2E}{2r}=\frac{E}{r}\] Similarly, for a n cell battery                                                                                                \[I=\frac{nE}{2r}=\frac{E}{r}\] So, current in the circuit does not depend on number of cells in the battery. Hence, the correct graph will be (c).
