For charging a battery of emf `E_1` , another battery of emf `E_2 (E_2 gt E_1)` is connected with their positive terminals connected together. Due to this , direction of current in battery with emf `E_1` is revorsed .
Does it mean that the emf is also reversed ? Give reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. the direction of emf polarity will not reverse. The net emf in the circuit i.e `E_2 -E_1` will determine the direction of current but it never reverses the individual emfs of the batteries.
