A battery has an emf of 3.15 V and produces a current of 12 A when connected across its terminals. What is its internal resistance

Respuesta :

According to Ohm's Law, if the voltage applied to a circuit is V and a current I flows through it, then the resistance R of the circuit is given by:

[tex]R=\frac{V}{I}[/tex]

Replace V=3.15V and I=12A to find the resistance of the circuit:

[tex]R=\frac{3.15V}{12A}=0.2625\Omega[/tex]

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is approximately 0.26 ohms.
