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.

Figure shows a 2.0 V potentiometer used for the determination of internal resistance of 1.5 V cell. The balance point of the cell without 9.5 Ω in the external circuit is 70 cm. When a resistor of 9.5 Ω is used in the external circuit of the cell, the balance point shifts to 60 cm length of the potentiometer wire. Determine the internal resistance of the secondary cell.
