  2. Cells in Series and Parallel • When two or more cells are in series, with the positive terminal of one connected to the negative terminal of another, then the total e.m.f. is given as, • E = E1 + E2 + E3 +… • and the total internal resistance is • r = r1 + r2 + r3 +… • If one of the cell, say e.m.f. E3, is connected in opposition with the others, then • E = E1 + E2 - E3 +… • but the total internal resistance remains unaltered. • When similar cells are in parallel, then total e.m.f. = E, the e.m.f. of any one of them. The internal resistance r is given by • where r1 is the internal resistance of each cell.
