Two cells are connected in opposition as shown. Cell E1 is of 8 V emf and 2 internal resistance; the cell E2 is of 2 V emf and 4 internal resistance. The terminal potential difference of cell E2 is V. [figure]
Answer
6
Solution
[figure]
I= E1-E2r1+r2= 8-22+4=1 A
E2 is being charged (current enters its + terminal)
V2=E2+Ir2=2+1 4=6 V
Answer: 6
