Charging a Battery: EMFs in Series and Parallel

Two Identical EMFs

Two voltage sources with identical emfs (each labeled by script E) connected in parallel produce the same emf but have a smaller total internal resistance than the individual sources. Parallel combinations are often used to deliver more current.
