The potential difference across a cell is 2 V when a current of 1 A is drawn from it. The potential difference falls to 1.8 V when a current of 1.2 A is drawn. Find the emf and internal resistance of the cell.

Using the relation:

V = E - I r

2 = E - 1 r             ...............(1)

1.8 = E - 1.2 r        ...............(2)

Subtracting (2) from (1) we get,

0.2 = 0.2 r

r = 1 Ω

From (1),

2 = E - (1 × 1) = E  - 1

E = (2+1) V = 3 V
