Answer:

1. Number of dry cells of 1.5 V required is 40.

2. Number of internal resistance of 1 ohm required is 807

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the resistance. This can be obtained as follow:

Power (P) = 60 W

Voltage (V) = 220 V

Resistance (R) =?

P = V²/R

60 = 220² / R

Cross multiply

60 × R = 220²

60 × R = 48400

Divide both side by 60

R = 48400 / 60

R ≈ 807 Ohm

1. Determination of the number of dry cells of 1.5 V required.

Voltage (V) = 220

Dry Cells = 1.5 V

Number of dry cells (n) =?

n = Voltage / Dry cells

n = 60 / 1.5

n = 40

2. Determination of the number of internal resistance of 1 ohm required.

Resistance (R) = 807 Ohm

Internal resistance (r) = 1 ohm

Number of internal resistance (n) =?

n = R/r

n = 807 / 1

n = 807

SUMMARY:

1. Number of dry cells of 1.5 V required is 40.

2. Number of internal resistance of 1 ohm required is 807
