The circuit can be redrawn as:

$\varepsilon_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{\frac{\varepsilon_{1}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}+\frac{\varepsilon_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}}{\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{5}{2}+\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}$

$\varepsilon_{\mathrm{eq}}=5 \mathrm{\,V}$

$\frac{1}{r_{e q}}=\frac{1}{r_{1}}+\frac{1}{r_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow r_{e q}=1 \,\Omega$

$\therefore \mathrm{i}=\frac{\varepsilon}{\mathrm{r}+\mathrm{R}}=\frac{5}{10+1}=0.45 \mathrm{\,A}$

    A resistance of $2 \Omega$ is comnected across one gap of a metre-bridge (the length of the wire is $100 \mathrm{~cm}$ ) and an unknown resistance, greater than $2 \Omega$, is connected across the other gap. When these resistance are interchanged, the balance point shifts by $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. Neglecting any corrections, the unknown resistance is
