Q.

N identical cells, each of emf E and internal resistance r are joined in series. Out of N cells, n cells are wrongly connected i.e., their terminals are connected in reverse of that required for series connection n < N2. Let E0 be the emf of resulting battery and r0 be its internal resistance. Then
