Solution

The correct options are
A one cell with continuously supply energy to the other
B the potential difference across both the cells will be equal
C the potential difference across one cell will be grater than its emf
Let i be the current flow in clockwise direction in the circuit .
thus, E2E1=i(r1+r2)
or i=E2E1r1+r2
now, VAVB=E2+ir2=E2+(E2E1)r2r1+r2=E2r1+E2r2+E2r2E1r2r1+r2=E2r1+2E2r2E1r2r1+r2
This is also potential across each cell.
Thus, VAVB>E2
Current flows in the cell of emf E2 from the positive plate to the negative plate inside the cell and hence it absorbs energy.
ans :A,B,C
