The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is 8.40 V when there is a current of 1.50 A in the battery from the negative to the positive terminal. When the current is 3.50 A in the reverse direction, the potential difference becomes 10.20 V. (a) What is the internal resistance of the battery? (b) What is the emf of the battery?
The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is $8.40 \mathrm{~V}$ when there is a current of $1.50 \mathrm{~A}$ in the battery from the negative to the positive terminal. When the current is $3.50 \mathrm{~A}$ in the reverse direction, the potential difference becomes $10.20 \mathrm{~V}$. (a) What is the internal resistance of the battery? (b) What is the emf of the battery?
