Q12 of 26 Page 1

Two identical cells of emf 1.5V each joined in parallel supply energy to an external circuit consisting of two resistances of 7Ω each joined in parallel. A very high resistance voltmeter reads the terminal voltage of cells to be 1.4V. Calculate the internal resistance of each cell.

Given, emf


Voltage reading, V=1.4V


As both resistances are in parallel.



So, net internal resistance



As both internal resistances are connected in parallel.


So, each internal resistance
