Four identical cells, each of $2 \, V$ e.m.f., are connected in parallel. They supply current to an external circuit consisting of two $15 \, \Omega$ resistors connected in parallel. The terminal voltage of the equivalent cell, as measured by an ideal voltmeter, is $1.6 \, V$. Calculate the internal resistance of each cell in $\Omega$.

Two identical batteries, each of $e.m.f.$ $2\,V$ and internal resistance $1.0\,\Omega$, are available to produce heat in an external resistance $R = 0.5\,\Omega$ by passing a current through it. The maximum Joulean power that can be developed across $R$ using these batteries is ............. $W$.

$A$ primary cell has an $e.m.f.$ of $1.5\,V$. When short-circuited,it gives a current of $3\,A$. The internal resistance of the cell is ............. $\Omega$.

Write the equation for the equivalent electromotive force (emf) of cells connected in parallel.

$n$ identical cells are joined in series,with two cells $A$ and $B$ in the loop having reversed polarities. The $EMF$ of each cell is $E$ and the internal resistance is $r$. The potential difference across cell $A$ or $B$ is (where $n > 4$):

When a current of $2\, A$ flows in a battery from negative to positive terminal, the potential difference across it is $12\, V$. If a current of $3\, A$ flowing in the opposite direction produces a potential difference of $15\, V$, the $emf$ of the battery is .............. $V$.
