Question:

Two batteries each of internal resistance 5  Ω and emf 10 V are connected in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance and emf for the system. 

Options:

5/2 Ω, 10 V

5/3 Ω, 10 V

4/3 Ω, 5 V

2/3 Ω, 5 V

Correct Answer:

5/2 Ω, 10 V

Explanation:

$R_{eq} = \frac{R}{2} = \frac{5}{2}\Omega$

$E_{eq} = \frac{E_1r_2 + E_2r_1}{r_1+r_2} = 10V $
