Two batteries of emf and and internal resistances r1 and r2 respectively are connected in parallel as shown in Figure.
A. The equivalent emf of the two cells is between and , i.e.
B. The equivalent emf is smaller than 1.
C. The is given by always.
D. is independent of internal resistances r1 and r2.
The correct answer is the option (a)
Explanation: Equivalent EMF in parallel is given as:
This value will always lie between and
