A cell \(E _{1}\) of \(emf 6 V\) and internal resistance \(2 \Omega\) is connected with another cell \(E _{2}\) of \(emf 4 V\) and internal resistance \(8 \Omega\) (as shown in the figure). The potential difference across points \(X\) and \(Y\) is............ \(V\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(5.6\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(I =\frac{6-4}{10}=\frac{1}{5} A\)
\(V _{ x }+4+8 \times \frac{1}{5}- V _{ y }=0\)
\(V _{ x }- V _{ y }=-5.6 \Rightarrow| Vx - Vy |=5.6 V\)
