wu ^ w> COo 15. < iJPi Current-Strength 71 would have a resistance of only one ohm, and ten Daniellsof half an ohm ; but as we have practically only one cell,so we get only the E. M. F. of one cell, viz., one volt. Asan example of the parallel arrangement, let us take oneDaniell cell with an internal resistance of five ohms, andan external resistance of two ohms ; then E I I 143 m.a. R+r 2+5 7 Now add on nine cells more in parallel ; the E. M. F. willremain the same, but the internal resistance will onlybe one-tenth of what it was. Thus : F T T :400 m.a. ; R + r 2-hTV 2-5 whereas we saw that ten such cells in series, with the sameexternal resistance, gave only 190 m.a. If we chose thecells best suited for cautery—e.g., with a low internal re-sistance, viz., bichromate or Groves—and coupled themin parallel, we should increase our current very much.Pass the current from one bichromate cell through anexternal resistance of two ohms, R+r~^ the E. M. F. of a bichromate is about t
