Problem

A resistor of resistance RR is connected to a cell of internal resistance 5 Ω5\,\Omega. The value of RR is varied from 1 Ω1\,\Omega to 5 Ω5\,\Omega. The power consumed by RR: increases continuously decreases continuously first decreases then increases first increases then decreases. (1) increases continuously (2) decreases continuously (3) first decreases then increases (4) first increases then decreases.
