Two identical cells when connected in series send 10 A through a resistance 5 Ohms. When they are connected in parallel they send 8A current through the same resistance. What is internal resistance of each cell? explanation for this question plese
here we need to use the current equation
I=emf/R+r.
in the first case take emf=2E and r=2r as they are in series
in the second case emf=e and r=r/2 as they are in paralel.
now substitute in the equation and solve
