Step 1:

\

Two cells are connected in the parallel.

\

The emf of the first cell is 10 V.

\

The internal resistance of the first cell is 3 \"\".

\

The emf of the second cell is 12 V.

\

The internal resistance of the second cell is 5 \"\".

\

Load resistance is  30 \"\".

\

Draw a circuit with above specifications :

\

\"\"

\

Step 2:

\

Find the current through the load.

\

 Thevenins Theorem :

\

Thevenins Theorem states that it is possible to simplify any linear circuit, no matter how complex, to an equivalent circuit with just a single voltage source and series resistance connected to a load.

\

Now reduce the circuit to a equivalent Thevenins circuit .

\

Find the Equivalent Resistance (Rs):

\

Find the Thevenin resistance by removing all power sources in the original circuit (voltage sources shorted and current sources open) and calculating total resistance between the open connection points.

\

\"\"

\

3Ω Resistor in parallel with the 5Ω Resistor .

\

So thevenins resistance

\

\"\"

\

Find the Equivalent Voltage (Vs):

\

Find the Thevenin source voltage by removing the load resistor from the original circuit and calculating voltage across the open connection points where the load resistor used to be.

\

\"\"

\

Apply KVL to the above circuit .

\

 \"\"

\

So the voltage drop across the 30 Ω resistor can be calculated as:

\

\"\"

\

Therefore the Thevenins Equivalent circuit is shown below with the 30 Ω resistor connected.
