Why does the battery discharge when its positive and negative terminals are connected through a conductor ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A conductor permits the charges to pass it. Due to this the exhaustion of charges is created after completion of all charges. So, when a battery is connected with a conductor it discharges.

A cell of emf 10 V and internal resistance 3 Omega is connected in parallel with another cell of emf 7V and internal resistance 3/5 Omega, such that their positive terminals are joined together and so there are negative terminals. Their positive terminals are joined with the negative terminal and their negative terminal is joined with the positive terminal of a third cell of emf 20 V with internal resistance 2Omega. The combination can be replaced by a battery of emf E and internal resistance r, then the values of E and R are respectively
