If the internal resistance of a battery increases, the terminal voltage under load:
Added by Stephanie N.
Step 1
The terminal voltage \( V \) of a battery under load is given by the formula: \[ V = E - Ir \] where \( E \) is the emf of the battery, \( I \) is the current through the load, and \( r \) is the internal resistance of the battery. Show more…

What effect does increasing the internal resistance of the source have on the load circuit?
Pritesh R.
The current passing through a battery with electromotive force E and internal resistance r is decreased by some external means. Does the potential difference between the terminals of the battery necessarily decrease or increase? Explain.
