Question
Write the important points for series connection of cells.
✓
Answer
→When the current leaves each cell from the positive terminal then :
(1) The equivalent emf of a series combination of $n$ cells is just the sum of their individual emfs.
(2) The equivalent internal resistance of a series combination of $n$ cells is just the sum of their individual internal resistances.
(3) In this type of combination, if the current leaves the cell from negative terminal then to obtain equivalent emf, the emf of that cell is taken negative.

$^{57}Co$ decays to $^{57}Fe$ by $\beta^+-\text{ emission.}-$ emission.
The resulting $^{57}Fe$ is in its excited state and comes to the ground state by emitting $\gamma-\text{rays}.$ The half $-$ life of $\beta^+-\text{decay}$ is $270$ days and that of the $\gamma-\text{emissions}$ is $10^{-8} s.$ A sample of $^{57}Co$ gives $5.0 \times 10^9$ gamma rays per second.
How much time will elapse before the emission rate of gamma rays drops to $2.5 \times 10^9$ per second?
