Two batteries with emf’s of 1.5 V and 1.2 V and internal resistances of 0.50 : and 0.80 :, respectively, are connected in parallel with + terminals together. (a) Determine the current they would deliver to an external resistance of 2.0 :. Hint, this circuit is equivalent to the two loop circuit you just investigated above!  Would more current be delivered if only one battery were used? If so, which one? Explain
