Question

 A battery having an (e.m.f) of 110v and an internal resistance of 0.2 ohms is connected in parallel with another battery with (e.m.f) of 100v and a resistance of 0.25 ohms . These two in parallel are placed in series with a regulating resistance of 5 ohms and connected a cross 220v mains.

Calculate :

  1. the magnitude and direction of the current in each battery
  2. the total current taken from the mains supply
  3. The terminal voltage of each battery
  4. Power taken by the 5 ohms load
