Question : 13 of 13
 
Marks: +1, -0
Two cells of emf E1 and E2 and internal resistances r1 and r2 are connected in parallel, with their terminals of the same polarity connected together. Obtain an expression for the equivalent emf of the combination.
Solution:

Terminal p.d of 1st cell,
V=E1−I1r1
∴I1=E1−Vr1
Terminal p.d of 2nd cell,
V=E2−I2r2
∴I2=E2−Vr2
Now, I=I1+I2
Or, I=E1−Vr1+E2−Vr2
Or, Ir1r2=r2(E1−V)+r1(E2−V)
Or, V(r1+r2)=E1r2+E2r1−Ir1r2
Or, V=E1r2+E2r1r1+r2−Ir2r1r1+r2
Comparing with V=E−Ir
Equivalent emf =E=E1r2+E2r1r1+r2
