Two non-ideal identical batteries are connected in parallel. Consider the following statements:
$(i)$ The equivalent e.m.f. is smaller than either of the two e.m.f.s.
$(ii)$ The equivalent internal resistance is smaller than either of the two internal resistances.

  • A
    Both $(i)$ and $(ii)$ are correct.
  • B
    $(i)$ is correct but $(ii)$ is wrong.
  • C
    $(ii)$ is correct but $(i)$ is wrong.
  • D
    Both $(i)$ and $(ii)$ are wrong.

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

Infinite number of cells having $emf$ and internal resistance $(E, r)$,$(\frac{E}{n}, \frac{r}{n})$,$(\frac{E}{n^2}, \frac{r}{n^2})$,$(\frac{E}{n^3}, \frac{r}{n^3})$... are connected in series across an external resistance of $\frac{nr}{n+1}$. The current flowing through the external resistor is:
