Two cells of emfs \(1\,\text{V}\) and \(2\,\text{V}\) and internal resistances \(2\,\Omega\) and \(1\,\Omega\) respectively connected in parallel, gave a current of \(1\,\text{A}\) through an external resistance. If the polarity of one cell is reversed, the current through the external resistance will be \( \frac{\alpha}{5} \) A. The value of \( \alpha \) is _____.
