Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement-I : The equivalent emf of two nonideal batteries connected in parallel is smaller than either of the two emfs.

Statement-II : The equivalent internal resistance of two nonideal batteries connected in parallel is smaller than the internal resistance of either ofthe two batteries.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.         [2025]

1 Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false  
2 Both Statement-I and Stratement-II are false  
3 Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true  
4 Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true  

Ans.

(4)

In parallel connections,

1req=1r1+1r2 and Eeqreq=E1r1+E2r2

If E1=E2 and r1=r2

 Statement-I is false.

req is less than both r1 and r2

 Statement -II is true.
