STANDARD Physics Combination of Cells MCQ Question
Two batteries of emf ε₁ and ε₂ (ε₂ > ε₁) and internal resistances r₁ and r₂ respectively are connected in parallel as shown in figure.
The equivalent emf εeq of the two cells is between ε₁ and ε₂, i.e., ε₁ < εeq < ε₂.
The equivalent emf εeq is smaller than ε₁.
The εeq is given by εeq = ε₁ + ε₂ always.
εeq is independent of internal resistances r₁ and r₂.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The equivalent emf εeq of the two cells is between ε₁ and ε₂, i.e., ε₁ < εeq < ε₂.
