Two batteries A and B are connected in parallel; to supply a current of 160 amperes to a load resistor RL. The open-circuit terminal voltage of battery A is 123 volts and its internal resistance is 0.12 ohm. If the internal resistance of a battery B is 0.15 ohm and it delivers 90 amperes, calculate (a) the open-circuit terminal EMF of a battery B; (b) the total power taken by the load resistor RL.
