N identical cells are connected to form a battery. When the terminals of the battery are joined directly (short-circuited), current I flows in the circuit. To obtain the maximum value of I,

a
all the cells should be joined in series
b
all the cells should be joined in parallel
c
two rows of N/2 cells each should be joined in parallel
d
N rows of  N cells each should be joined in parallel, given that N is an integer

detailed solution

Correct option is B

For series connection, Imin=NεNr=εrFor parallel connection, Imax=ε(r/N)=Nεr
