Expert Answer:

begin mathsize 12px style Two comma space cells space of space emf space 1.5 space straight V space and space internal space resistance space 1.5 space straight capital omega space are space connected space in space parallel. Total space emf comma space straight E equals 1.5 space straight V straight r subscript straight p space is space the space total space internal space resistance space of space the space combination space of space cell space then comma 1 over straight r subscript straight p equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1.5 end fraction plus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1.5 end fraction straight r subscript straight p equals 0.75 space straight capital omega The space arrangement space is space connected space to space straight a space 2.5 space straight capital omega space resistance. Terminal space potential space difference space is space straight V comma we space know space that comma straight r subscript straight p equals fraction numerator straight E minus straight V over denominator straight V end fraction straight R 0.75 equals fraction numerator 1.5 minus straight V over denominator straight V end fraction cross times 2.5 fraction numerator 0.75 straight V over denominator 2.5 end fraction equals 1.5 minus straight V 0.3 straight V equals 1.5 minus straight V 1.3 straight V equals 1.5 straight V equals 1.15 space Volt Hence comma space potential space difference space accross space the space terminals space of space the space cell space is space 1.15 space Volt. end style
