Two cells of emf 1V and 2V and internal resistance 2 \( \Omega \) and 1 \( \Omega \), respectively, are connected in series with an external resistance of 6 \( \Omega \). The total current in the circuit is \( I_1 \). Now the same two cells in parallel configuration are connected to the same external resistance. In this case, the total current drawn is \( I_2 \). The value of \( \left( \frac{I_1}{I_2} \right) \) is \( \frac{x}{3} \). The value of x is 1cm.

Solid State
Solids are substances that are featured by a definite shape, volume, and high density. In the solid-state, the composed particles are arranged in several manners. Solid-state, in simple terms, means "no moving parts." Thus solid-state electronic devices are the ones inclusive of solid components that don’t change their position. Solid is a state of matter where the composed particles are arranged close to each other. The composed particles can be either atoms, molecules, or ions.
Types of Solids:
Based on the nature of the order that is present in the arrangement of their constituent particles solids can be divided into two types;
- Amorphous solids behave the same as super cool liquids due to the arrangement of constituent particles in short-range order. They are isotropic and have a broad melting point (range is about greater than 5°C).
- Crystalline solids have a fixed shape and the constituent particles are arranged in a long-range order.
