The circuit diagram below shows two emf sources and a bulb connected in parallel. Also connected in the circuit is a resistor with resistance R = 0.2 Ω . The resistance of the bulb is Rb = 0.5 Ω , and each of the sources has internal resistance: r1 = 0.025 Ω and r2 = 0.02 Ω .
If E1 = 13.0 V and E2= 5.0 V , calculate the current I2 flowing in emf source E2.
