Three similar cells each of e.m.f 2 v and internal resistance 2Ω are connected in parallel, the total e.m.f and total internal resistance are respectively

Assessment: JAMB UTME - Physics - 2011 Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

Three similar cells each of e.m.f 2 v and internal resistance 2Ω are connected in parallel, the total e.m.f and total internal resistance are respectively
Answer Details
Total energy in parred connection is equal to emt of one cell, = 2v but total internal resistance is given by
(1)/r = (1)/r1 + (1)/r2 + (1)/r3 = (1)/2 + (1)/2 + (1)/2 = (3)/2
∴ r = (2)/3 = 0.67Ω
