Solution
In this problem first, we are applying Kirchhoff's junction rule at c, I1 = I + I2
Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law in loop (e – f – b – a – e) loop L1 outer loop, then we get
10 – IR – 10l1 = 0
10 = IR + 10l1 ......(i)
Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law in loop (c – b – a – d – c) loop L2, we get
– 2 – IR + 5I2 = 0
2 = 5I2 – RI
As we know, I1 = I + I2 then
I2 = I1 – I
So the above equation can be written as
2 = 5(I1 – I) – RI
or 4 = 10I1 – 10I – 2RI ......(ii)
Subtracting equations (ii) from (i), we get
⇒ 6 = 3RI + 10I
2 = `I(R + 10/3)`
Also, the external resistance is R. The Ohm's law states that V = I(R + Reff)
On comparing, we have V = 2V and effective internal resistance `(R_("eff")) = (10/3)Ω`
Since, the equivalent internal resistance (Reff) of two cells is `(10/3)Ω`, being the parallel combination of 5Ω and 10Ω. The equivalent circuit is given below:
