(a) Two cells of emf $E_1$ and $E_2$ with internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively, are connected in parallel by connecting their positive terminals together and negative terminals together. Deduce an expression for equivalent emf and equivalent internal resistance of the combination. (b) A parallel combination, as stated in (a) above, of two cells of emfs $E$ and $3E$ and internal resistances $R$ each is connected across a resistance $2R$. Find the current that flows through resistance $2R$.
