The equivalent cell emf :

\varepsilon=\frac{\varepsilon_1 r_2+\varepsilon_2 r_1}{r_1+r_2}

Using this expression we obtain

\varepsilon=\frac{3 \times 0.1-1 \times 0.3}{0.1+0.3}=0

\text { Since } e_{\text {eff }}=0 \Rightarrow               \text { current across } 2 \Omega \text { resistor is zero }

\Rightarrow \quad \text { the current across each cell }=\frac{4 \mathrm{v}}{0.3+0.1}=10 \mathrm{amp}

V_{\text {terminal }}=3-0.3 \times 10=0
