Question

Plot a graph showing variation of voltage vs the current drawn from the cell. How can one get information from this plot about the emf of the cell and its internal resistance?
Two cells of emf’s $E_1$ and $E_2$ and internal resistance $r_1$ and $r_2$ are connected in parallel. Obtain the expression for the emf and internal resistance of a single equivalent cell that can replace this combination?

Answer

$V=\varepsilon-Ir$
When current is zero (I = 0), $\text{V}=\in$
And when V = 0, $\text{I}=\text{I}_0,\text{ }r=\frac{\in}{I_0}$

$\text{V}=\text{V}(\text{B}_1)-\text{V}(\text{B}_2)=\varepsilon_1-I_1r_1$
$\text{V}=\text{V}(\text{B}_1)-\text{V}(\text{B}_2)=\varepsilon_2-I_2r_2$
$I=I_1+I_2$
$=\frac{\varepsilon_1-\text{V}}{r_1}+\frac{\varepsilon_2-\text{V}}{r_2}=\Big(\frac{\varepsilon_1}{r_1}+\frac{\varepsilon_2}{r_2}\Big)-\text{V}\Big(\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}\Big)$
$\text{V}=\frac{\varepsilon_1r_2+\varepsilon_2r_1}{r_1+r_2}-I\frac{r_1r_2}{r_1+r_2}$
On comparing with
$\text{V}=\varepsilon_{eq}-Ir_{eq}$
we get
$\varepsilon_{eq}=\frac{\varepsilon_1r_2+\varepsilon_2r_1}{r_1+r_2}$
$r_{eq}=\frac{r_1r_2}{r_1+r_2}$
Alternate Answer
A student may write the last two results in the following form.
$\frac{1}{r_{eq}}=\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}$
$\frac{\varepsilon_{eq}}{r_{eq}}=\frac{\varepsilon_1}{r_1}+\frac{\varepsilon_2}{r_2}$

ODBAC is a fixed rectangular conductor of negilible resistance (CO is not connnected) and OP is a conductor which rotates clockwise with an angular velocity $\omega$ (Fig).

The rotating conductor has a resistance of $\lambda$ per unit length. Find the current in the rotating conductor, as it rotates by 180º.

The magnitude F of the force between two straight parallel current carrying conductors kept at a distance d apart in air is given by:
