To find the e.m.f. of the cell, we will analyze the two configurations of the resistors: parallel and series. ### Step 1: Calculate the equivalent resistance for the parallel configuration Given two resistors \( R_1 = 2 \, \Omega \) and \( R_2 = 2 \, \Omega \) connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance \( R_{net} \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \frac{1}{R_{net}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} \] ...
