The difference of potential between the terminals of cells is 2.2 volts. When a 4ohm resistor is connected across the terminals of this cells, the potential difference is 2 volts. What is the internal resistance of the cell?

A.

0.10 ohms

B.

0.25 ohms

C.

0.40 ohms

D.

2.50 ohms

E.

4.00 ohms

Correct answer is C

IR = 2 and Ir = 0.2

I = \(\frac{2}{R}\) ; I = \(\frac{0.2}{r}\)

\(\frac{2}{4}\) = \(\frac{0.2}{r}\)

r = 0.4\(\Omega\)
