Two batteries of emfs `epsilon_(1) and epsilon_(2) (epsilon_(2) gt epsilon_(1))` and internal resistances `r_(1) and r_(2)` respectively are connected in parallel as shown in fig.

Options

A. The equivalent emf `epsilon_(eq)` of the two cells is between `epsilon_(1) and epsilon_(2)," i.e.,  "epsilon_(1) lt epsilon_(eq)lt epsilon_(2)`
B. The equivalent emf `epsilon_(eq)` is smaller than
C. The `epsilon_(eg)` is given by `epsilon_(eq)=epsilon_(1)+epsilon_(2)` always
D. `epsilon_(eq)` is independent of internal resistances `r_(1) and r_(2)`

Answer

A
