Question
Two identical batteries, each with emf 18 V and internal resistance 1 ohm, are connected in parallel. This combination is connected across a 4 ohm resistor. The current in the 4 ohm resistor is:
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Parallel identical cells: emf stays 18V, r_total = 0.5 ohm. I = 18/4.5 = 4.0 A.
Hint
Parallel identical cells: emf stays 18V, r_total = 0.5 ohm.
