Question 8
jamb 2025

Assuming E\(_1\),  E\(_2\), and  E\(_3\), are equal, then the total e.m.f of the arrangement will be given by 

A\(\frac{1}{\text{E}}\) = (\(\frac{1}{E_1}\) +\(\frac{1}{E_2}\)) + E\(_3\)
BE = \(E_1\) + \(E_2\) + \(E_3\)
C\(\frac{1}{\text{E}}\) = \(\frac{1}{E_1}\) + \(\frac{1}{E_2}\) + \(\frac{1}{E_3}\)
DE = \(E_1\) = \(E_2\) = \(E_3\)
