A cell of unknown emf ε and internal resistance r, two unknown resistances R1 and R2R2>R1 and a perfect ammeter are given. The current in the circuit is measured in five different situations:

Without any external resistance in the circuit

The current obtained in the five cases are :

0.42 A, 0.6 A, 1.05 A, 1.4 A, and 4.2 A

but not necessarily in that order. Identify the currents in the five cases listed above and calculate E, r, R1 and R2.

A battery consists of 12 cells in series, each having an emf E and internal resistor r. Some of the cells in the battery are connected with wrong polarity. This battery is connected to another source of emf 2E and internal resistance 2r. An ammeter in the circuit reads 3A when battery and the source aid each other and 2A in the same direction when they oppose each other. Find how many cells in the battery are connected with wrong polarity.
