Question
Derive $\mathrm{r}=\frac{\mathrm{E}-\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{I}}$ where $\mathrm{r}$ is internal resistance, $\mathrm{E}-\mathrm{emf}, \mathrm{V}-$ terminal voltage, $\mathrm{I}-$ current.
Step 1
We are dealing with a circuit that includes a power source with an electromotive force (emf) E, an internal resistance r, and a load that results in a terminal voltage V when a current I flows through the circuit. Show more…

"A cell of emf 'E' and internal resistance 'r' is connected across a variable load resistor R. Draw the plots of the terminal voltage V versus (i) R and (ii) the current i."
Express as a formula. The current I from a battery as a function of the external resistance R, the electromotive force E and the internal resistance r being constant. (Current equals electromotive force divided by the sum of the two resistances)
What is the current through the resistor $R$ in the circuit shown below? The EMF of each cell is $E_{m}$ and internal resistance is $r$ (A) $\frac{E_{m}}{2 R+r}$ (B) $\frac{E_{m}}{2 r+R}$ (C) $\frac{2 E_{m}}{R+2 r}$ (D) $\frac{2 E_{m}}{2 R+r}$
