Step 1:

\

Two cells are connected in the series.

\

The emf of the first cell is 1.5 V.

\

The internal resistance of the first cell is 1.2 \"\".

\

The emf of the second cell is 1.1 V.

\

The internal resistance of the second cell is 0.7 \"\".

\

Draw a circuit with above specifications :

\

 \"\"

\

 Step 2:

\

Find the equivalent resistance :

\

Resistor \"image\" parallel.

\

Let \"image\" is equivalent parallel resistance.

\

\"image\"

\

\"\"

\

Step 3:

\

Find the current in the circuit :

\

From ohms law : \"image\".

\

The current in the circuit : \"\".

\

Where \"\" is the emf of the first cell,

\

         \"\" is the emf of the first cell,

\

         \"\" is the internal resistance of the first cell,

\

         \"\" is the internal resistance of the second cell,

\

            \"image\" is equivalent parallel resistance.

\

So the current in the circuit :

\

\"\"

\

Current in the series loop is same.

\

Therefore, the current in each cell is \"\".

\

 Step 4:

\

(3)

\

The terminal voltage of first cell :

\

Suppose that the battery with emf \"image\" and internal resistance \"image\" supplies a current \"image\" through an external load resistor \"image\", then the potential difference across the battery is \"\" .

\

Substitute ,\"\" and \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\" \ \

\

The terminal voltage of second cell :

\

Suppose that the battery with emf \"image\" and internal resistance \"image\" supplies a current \"image\" through an external load resistor \"image\", then the potential difference across the battery is \"\" .

\

Substitute ,\"\" and \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

 Step 5:

\

The Terminal voltage of first cell is \"\".

\

The Terminal voltage of second cell is \"\".

\

The cells are connected in series .

\

The net voltage is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

The voltage in the parallel loop is \"\".

\

The voltage in the parallel loop same.

\

So, the voltage across each coil is same.

\

Current through the coil which has resistance \"\" :

\

Use ohms law : \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Current through the coil which has resistance \"\" :

\

Use ohms law : \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Solution:

\

The current in each cell is \"\".

\

The Terminal voltage of first cell is \"\".

\

The Terminal voltage of second cell is \"\".

\

Current through the first coil is \"\".

\

Current through the second coil is \"\".
