In the figure, battery 1 has an electromotive force (emf) \( \mathcal{E}_1 = 23.0 \, \text{V} \) and an internal resistance \( r_1 = 0.017 \, \Omega \). Battery 2 has an emf \( \mathcal{E}_2 = 23.0 \, \text{V} \) and an internal resistance \( r_2 = 0.012 \, \Omega \). The batteries are connected in series with an external resistance \( R \).

(a) What \( R \) value makes the terminal-to-terminal potential difference of one of the batteries zero?

(b) Which battery is that?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a simple electrical circuit with two batteries connected in series. Each battery is represented as a cell with its respective emf and internal resistance. The circuit continues from the batteries through an external resistor labeled \( R \). Each battery is connected with its positive terminal at the top and negative at the bottom, and arrows are used to denote the direction of emf for each battery (\( \mathcal{E}_1 \) and \( \mathcal{E}_2 \)).
