Two cells of internal resistance $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ and of the same emf are connected in series across a resistor of resistance $R$. If the terminal potential difference across the cell of internal resistance $r_{1}$ is zero,then the value of $R$ is

Two cells,having the same $e.m.f.$ $E$,are connected in series through an external resistance $R$. The cells have internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ respectively. When the circuit is closed,the potential difference across the first cell is zero. The value of $R$ is

Write the equation for the equivalent electromotive force (emf) of a series connection of cells.

Four identical cells, each of $2 \, V$ e.m.f., are connected in parallel. They supply current to an external circuit consisting of two $15 \, \Omega$ resistors connected in parallel. The terminal voltage of the equivalent cell, as measured by an ideal voltmeter, is $1.6 \, V$. Calculate the internal resistance of each cell in $\Omega$.
