Q1easy

Three identical cells, each of EMF 2,V2,\text{V} and internal resistance 0.5,Omega0.5,Omega, are connected in series to an external resistor of R=4.5,OmegaR = 4.5,Omega. What is the current flowing through the external resistor?

Q2medium

Two cells, one with E1=10,VE_1 = 10,\text{V} and r1=1,Omegar_1 = 1,Omega, and another with E2=4,VE_2 = 4,\text{V} and r2=2,Omegar_2 = 2,Omega, are connected in series. If the positive terminal of the first cell is connected to the positive terminal of the second cell, what is the equivalent EMF of the combination?

Q3medium

Four identical cells, each of EMF 1.5,V1.5,\text{V} and internal resistance 0.2,Omega0.2,Omega, are connected in parallel. This combination is connected to an external resistor of R=0.4,OmegaR = 0.4,Omega. What is the current flowing through the external resistor?

Q4medium

A mixed grouping of cells consists of 3 rows in parallel, with each row containing 2 identical cells in series. Each cell has an EMF of 1.0,V1.0,\text{V} and an internal resistance of 0.1,Omega0.1,Omega.
