Given that,
Internal resistance of cell, r = 1 Ohm
EMF of cell, V = 2 V
Now,
The effective reisistance of wires connected in parallel combination will be given as
![1 over R subscript f equals 1 over R subscript 1 plus space 1 over R subscript 2 rightwards double arrow R subscript f space equals fraction numerator R subscript 1 R subscript 2 over denominator R subscript 1 plus R subscript 2 end fraction
therefore space R subscript f equals fraction numerator 3 cross times 2 over denominator 3 plus 2 end fraction equals 6 over 5 equals 1.2 space capital omega space](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/4ea0054143a0df3f973cc13259c2c1e4.png)
Hence the amount of current flowing through given combination will be
I = V(Rf + r)
![equals space fraction numerator 2 over denominator left parenthesis 1.2 plus 1 right parenthesis end fraction equals space 0.9 space space A space](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/5f5510bdec5fd9e2e04650eb4645b7cd.png)
Now, the potential drop across parallel combination of wires will be
Vf = IRf =0.9 x 1.2 = 1.08 V
Thus,
Current through 3 Ohm resistance will be
I2 = Vf /R2 = 1.08 / 3 = 0.36 A
Similarly, Current through 2 Ohm resistance will be
I1 = Vf /R1 = 1.08 / 2 = 0.54 A
