A cell of e.m.f. ε and internal resistance r sends a current of 1.0 A when it is connected to an external resistance of 1.9 ohm. But it sends a current of 0.5 A when it is connected to an external resistance of 3.9 ohm. Calculate the values of ε and r.

Four resistors each of resistance 5 Ω are connected in parallel. What is the effective resistance?

A music system draws a current of 400 mA when connected to a 12 V battery.

(a) What is the resistance of the music system ?

(b) The music system if left playing for several hours and finally the battery voltage drops and the music system stops playing when the current drops to 320 mA. At what battery voltage does the music system stop playing.

You have three resistors of values 2 Ω, 3 Ω and 5 Ω . How will you join them so that the total resistance is less than 1 Ω ? Draw diagram and find the total resistance.
