A cell of EMF 2V and internal resistance 1ohm is connected with two wires of resistances 2ohm and 3ohm in parallel. Find the current in each wire.

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

Hence the amount of current flowing through given combination will be
I = V(Rf + r)

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
