प्रश्न
Two batteries of emf ε1 and ε2 (ε2 > ε1) and internal resistances r1 and r2 respectively are connected in parallel as shown in figure.

पर्याय
The equivalent emf εeq of the two cells is between ε1 and ε2, i.e. ε1 < εeq < ε2.
The equivalent emf εeq is smaller than ε1.
The εeq is given by εeq = ε1 + ε2 always.
εeq is independent of internal resistances r1 and r2.

उत्तर
The equivalent emf εeq of the two cells is between ε1 and ε2, i.e. ε1 < εeq < ε2.
Explanation:
The equivalent emf of this combination is given by
εeq = `(ε_1/r_1 + ε_1/r_2)/((1/r_1 + 1/r_2)) = (ε_1(1/r_1 + (ε_2/ε_1)/r_2))/((1/r_1 + 1/r_2)) = (ε_2((ε_1/ε_2)/r_1 + 1/r_2))/((1/r_1 + 1/r_2))`
As `ε_2/ε_1 > 1`
⇒ `((1/r_1 + (ε_2/r_1)/r_2))/((1/r_1 + 1/r_2)) > 1 or ε_(eq) > ε_1` also `ε_1/ε_2 < 1`
⇒ `(((ε_1/ε_2)/r_1 + 1/r_2))/((1/r_1 + 1/r_2)) < 1 or ε_(eq) < ε_1`
Hence ε1 < εeq < ε2.

The earth’s surface has a negative surface charge density of 10−9 C m−2. The potential difference of 400 kV between the top of the atmosphere and the surface results (due to the low conductivity of the lower atmosphere) in a current of only 1800 A over the entire globe. If there were no mechanism of sustaining atmospheric electric field, how much time (roughly) would be required to neutralise the earth’s surface? (This never happens in practice because there is a mechanism to replenish electric charges, namely the continual thunderstorms and lightning in different parts of the globe). (Radius of earth = 6.37 × 106 m.)
