What is the EMF of the battery if the sources are the same and the polarity of connecting one of them has been changed?
| July 27, 2021 | education
With a series connection of sources, the EMF of the battery is the sum of the EMF of individual sources
EMF = EMF1 + EMF2.
If one of the sources has reversed its polarity, then
EMF = EMF1 + (- EMF2).
Since EMF1 = EMF2, then the EMF of the battery
EMF = EMF1 – EMF1 = 0.
Answer: The EMF of the battery is 0 V.
