The parallel combination of five cells, each with an electromotive force of 2.5 V and internal resistance of 0.7 Ω, is connected to an external resistance of 6.5 Ω. Find the (a) terminal voltage of the battery and (b) terminal voltage of the cell.
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
