Question : Two identical cells, each of emf 2 V and internal
resistance 1  are connected to an external resistance R =
0.5  as shown in the figure. Then the power consumed by
the resistance R is
(a) 0.9 W (b) 1.25 W (c) 1.75 W (d) 2 W

Answer :
When two identical cells each of emf E and internal resistance r are connected in
parallel across an external resistance R , then the net emf = E
