Question
Explain series connection of cells. Derive the formula for equivalent emf and equivalent internal resistance for series connection of cell.

Answer

Image

The figure shows the series connection of two cells. The emf of two cells are $\varepsilon_1$ and $\varepsilon_2$ respectively and their internal resistences are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively. The current I is passing through this combination.
