Find the value of i1i2 in figure if (a) R= 0.1 Ω, (b) R=1 Ω (c) R= 10 Ω. Note from your answer that in order to get more current from a combination of two batteries they should be joined in parallel if the external resistance is small and in series if the external resistance is large as compared to the internal resistances.
