1. A cell of emf E and internal resistance r is connected to a variable resistor R.

Which of the following statements about the circuit is / are correct?

1. If the resistance of R decreases, the terminal potential difference also decreases but the power dissipated in the cell is large

2. If the resistance of R is very large, the current in the circuit is very small but most of the power supplied by the cell is dissipated by R

3. If the resistance of R is very large, the power dissipated in R tends towards the value $\frac{{E}^{2}}{R}$
