The lead storage batteries "A" and "B" are connected in parallel. "A" has an open circuit voltage of 12 V and an internal resistance of 0.2 ohm. Battery "B" has an open circuit voltage of 12.2 V and an internal resistance of 0.3 ohm. If the two batteries together deliver power to a 0.5-ohm power resistor. Neglecting effects of temperature, how much current is contributed by battery "A"?
