answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Suppose n similar cells each of emf ε and internal resistance r be connected in series. Let R be the external resistance.

Now, the total emf of n cells = sum of all the emfs of n cells = nε
Total internal resistance of n cells in series is = nr
Total resistance of the circuit = R + nr
Hence, total current will be:
