1.5V, 7.50Ω
1,5V, 0.83Ω
4.5V, 7.50Ω
4.5V, 0.83Ω
Explanation
Since the cells are connected in parallel the net e.m.f is that of one cell, E.
However the effective internal resistance should be added as parallel resistance.
=> 1/v + 1/25 + 1/25 + 1/25 = 1.2
∴ v = 0.83Ω
∴ Effective e.m.f and internal resistance are respectively = 1.5V and 0.83Ω
