STANDARD Physics Combination of Cells MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Two batteries of emf ε₁ and ε₂ (ε₂ > ε₁) and internal resistances r₁ and r₂ respectively are connected in parallel as shown in figure.

A

The equivalent emf εeq of the two cells is between ε₁ and ε₂, i.e., ε₁ < εeq < ε₂.

B

The equivalent emf εeq is smaller than ε₁.

C

The εeq is given by εeq = ε₁ + ε₂ always.

D

εeq is independent of internal resistances r₁ and r₂.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The equivalent emf εeq of the two cells is between ε₁ and ε₂, i.e., ε₁ < εeq < ε₂.
