How would you arrange 48 cells each of e.m.f 2V and inteanal resistance $1.5 \Omega $ so as to pass maximum current through the external resistance of $2 \Omega$ ?
[{No of rows}/{no of cells in each row}] = (m/n) = (r/R) where r = internal resistance of each cell
R = external resistance
∴ (m/n) = {1.5/2} = (3/4)
also total number of cells = 48 m × n = 48
∴ (3/4) n × n = 48 n2 = {(48 × 4)/3} n = 8
∴ m = (48/8) = 6
∴ 6 rows with 8 cell in each of row
