    Two non-ideal batteries are connected in parallel. Consider the following statements. (i) The equivalent emf is smaller than either of the two emfs. (ii) The equivalent internal resistance is smaller  than either of the two internal resistances.

    A)  Both (i) and (ii) are correct

    B)  (i) is correct but (ii) is wrong

    C)  (ii) is correct but (i) is wrong

    D)  Both (i) and (ii) are wrong

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let emf of both cells are \[{{E}_{1}}\]and\[{{E}_{2}}\] and internal resistances are \[{{r}_{1}}\]and \[{{r}_{2}}.\]In parallel order, we have \[E={{E}_{1}}={{E}_{2}}\] Effective internal resistance of both cells \[\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{r}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[R=\frac{r}{2}\] So, emf is equal to the emf of any of the cell  and internal resistance is less than the resistance of any of cell. Hence, (ii) is right and (i) is wrong.
