Four identical cells, each of $2 \, V$ e.m.f., are connected in parallel. They supply current to an external circuit consisting of two $15 \, \Omega$ resistors connected in parallel. The terminal voltage of the equivalent cell, as measured by an ideal voltmeter, is $1.6 \, V$. Calculate the internal resistance of each cell in $\Omega$.
