उत्तर

Let I1 and I2 be the current in two cells with emf E1 and E2 and internal resistance r1 and r2
So I = I1 + I2
Now let V be the potential difference between the points A and B. Since the first cell is connected between the points A and B.
V = potential difference across first cell
V = E1 − I1r1
`or I_1 =(E_1-V)/r_1`
Now, the second cell is also connected between the points A and B. So,
`or I_2 =(E_2-V)/r_2`
Thus, substituting for I1 and I2
`I =(E_1-V)/r_1 + (E_2-V)/r_2`
`or, I (E_1 /r_1 + E_2 /r_2)-V(1 /r_1 +1 /r_2)`
`V =((E_1r_2 + E_2r_1)/(r_1+r_2)) -I((r_1r_2)/(r_1 +r_2)) ..... (1)`
If E is effective e.m.f and r, the effective internal resistance of the parallel combination of the two cells then V = E − Ir …..(2)
Comparing (1) and (2)
`(1) E= (E_1r_2 + E_2r_1)/(r_1+r_2)`
This is equivalent e.m.f of the combination
`(2)r =(r_1r_2)/(r_1 +r_2)`
This is equivalent resistance of the combination.
(3) The potential difference between the point A and B is
V = E − Ir

Two identical cells of emf 1.5 V each joined in parallel, supply energy to an external circuit consisting of two resistances of 7 Ω each joined in parallel. A very high resistance voltmeter reads the terminal voltage of cells to be 1.4 V. Calculate the internal resistance of each cell.
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.)
