Question

External resistance R connected to cell of internal resistance r. Current is maximum when
Options
A R < r
Correct Answer
B R > r
C R = r
D none of the above
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

I = E/(R+r). Maximum current when R is minimum (R=0). Among given, R < r is closest (but not zero). Often asked for max power transfer (R=r), but max current is R=0.

Hint

I max when R=0.
