When two cells of emfs $E_1$ and $E_2$ and different internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ are connected in series with an external load resistor $R$,the current through the load is $5 \ A$. If the polarity of the cell of emf $E_2$ is reversed,then the current through the load is $2 \ A$. Then $\frac{E_1}{E_2} = $

When a resistor of $11 \,\Omega$ is connected in series with an electric cell,the current flowing in it is $0.5 \, A$.
