Two sources of equal $emf$ $E$ are connected in series with an external resistance $R$. The internal resistances of the two sources are $R_1$ and $R_2$ $(R_2 > R_1)$. If the potential difference across the source of internal resistance $R_2$ is zero,then the value of $R$ is:

  • A
    $R = \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 + R_2}$
  • B
    $R = \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 - R_2}$
  • C
    $R = R_2 \frac{(R_1 + R_2)}{(R_1 - R_2)}$
  • D
    $R = R_2 - R_1$

Write the equation for the equivalent electromotive force (emf) of a series connection of cells.

$A$ battery consists of $5$ rows of cells,each row containing $10$ cells in series. This battery is connected in parallel to an external resistor of $20 \,\Omega$. If each cell has an $emf$ of $1.5 \,V$ and an internal resistance of $1 \,\Omega$,what is the current $i$ flowing through the external resistor (in $,A$)?
