Two cells of emfs \( 1 \, \text{V} \) and \( 2 \, \text{V} \) and internal resistance \( 2 \, \Omega \) 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, then value of current through the external resistance will be \( \dfrac{\alpha}{5} \, \text{A} \). The value of \( \alpha \) is __________.
