To solve the problem step by step, we will first draw the circuit diagram, then apply Kirchhoff's rules to find the current through each branch and the potential difference across the external resistance. ### Step 1: Draw the Circuit Diagram We have two cells connected in parallel. The first cell has an EMF of 1.5 V and an internal resistance of 1 Ω, while the second cell has an EMF of 2.0 V and an internal resistance of 2 Ω. Both cells are connected to an external resistance of 5 Ω. **Circuit Diagram:** ``` +---[1.5V]---[1Ω]---+ ...
