Chapter 29, Problem 81PQ
In Figure P29.81, N real batteries, each with an emf ε and internal resistance r, are connected in a closed ring. A resistor R can be connected across any two points of this ring, causing there to be n real batteries in one branch and N – n resistors in the other branch. Find an expression for the current through the resistor R in this case.
