प्रश्न
A battery of emf 4 volt and internal resistance 1 Ω is connected in parallel with another battery of emf 1 V and internal resistance 1 Ω (with their like poles connected together). The combination is used to send current through an external resistance of 2 Ω. Calculate the current through the external resistance.
उत्तर
Let I1 and l2 be the currents through the two branches as shown in the following figure. The current through the 2 Ω resistance will be (I1 + I2) [Kirchhoffs current law].
Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law to loop ABCDEFA, we get,
-2(I1 + I2) - 1(I1) + 4 = 0
∴ 3I1 + 2I2 = 4 .....(1)
Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law to loop BCDEB, we get,
-2(I1 + I2) - 1(I2) + 1 = 0
2I1 + 3I2 = 1 ....(2)
Multiplying Eq. (1) by 2 and Eq. (2) by 3, we get,
6I1 + 4I2 = 8 .....(3)
and 6I1 + 9I2 = 3 ....(4)
Subtracting Eq. (4) from Eq. (3), we get,
- 5I2 = 5
∴ I2 = - 1A
The minus sign shows that the direction of current I2 is opposite to that assumption. Substituting this value of I2 in Eq. (1), we get,
3I1 + 2(-1) = 4
∴ 3I1 - 4 + 2 = 6
∴ I1 = 2A
Current through the 2 Ω resistance = I1 + I2 = 2 - 1 = 1 A.

Figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of 2.0 V and internal resistance 0.40 Ω maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02 V (for very moderate currents up to a few mA) gives a balance point at 67.3 cm length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, very high resistance of 600 kΩ is put in series with it, which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown emf ε and the balance point found similarly, turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire.
