Doubt by RAVI KUMAR JHA

n identical cells are joined in series with two cells A and B with reversed polarities. emf of each cell is E and internal resistance is r. Potential difference across cell A or B is : (n > 4).

Sir how it has been decided in this question that cell is being charged. Please it's urgent

Answer by Shreya

Number of cells= n
EMF of each cell= E
and internal resistance of each cell= r
Total resistance in circuit= nr
One cell is joined in reverse, so total emf = nE-2E
Current in the circuit, I= nE-2E /nr
                                 =E(n-2)/nr
Potential difference ,V = E- Ir

        E-(n-2)E×r /n×r  = E[1-(n-2)/n]

        =2E/n
