The correct Answer is:
To find the effective EMF of two batteries connected in parallel, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - For Battery 1: - EMF (E1) = 2 V - Internal Resistance (R1) = 1 Ω - For Battery 2: - EMF (E2) = 1 V - Internal Resistance (R2) = 2 Ω 2. **Use the formula for effective EMF in parallel**: The formula for the effective EMF (E_effective) when two batteries are connected in parallel is given by: \[ E_{\text{effective}} = \frac{E_1 R_2 + E_2 R_1}{R_1 + R_2} \] 3. **Substitute the values into the formula**: \[ E_{\text{effective}} = \frac{(2 \, \text{V} \cdot 2 \, \Omega) + (1 \, \text{V} \cdot 1 \, \Omega)}{1 \, \Omega + 2 \, \Omega} \] 4. **Calculate the numerator**: - Calculate \(2 \, \text{V} \cdot 2 \, \Omega = 4 \, \text{V} \cdot \Omega\) - Calculate \(1 \, \text{V} \cdot 1 \, \Omega = 1 \, \text{V} \cdot \Omega\) - Therefore, the numerator becomes: \[ 4 \, \text{V} \cdot \Omega + 1 \, \text{V} \cdot \Omega = 5 \, \text{V} \cdot \Omega \] 5. **Calculate the denominator**: - \(R_1 + R_2 = 1 \, \Omega + 2 \, \Omega = 3 \, \Omega\) 6. **Combine the results**: \[ E_{\text{effective}} = \frac{5 \, \text{V} \cdot \Omega}{3 \, \Omega} = \frac{5}{3} \, \text{V} \] 7. **Final Result**: The effective EMF of the combination is: \[ E_{\text{effective}} = \frac{5}{3} \, \text{V} \] ### Conclusion: The effective EMF of the combination of the two batteries connected in parallel is \(\frac{5}{3} \, \text{V}\).
