To solve the problem, we will use Ohm's law and the concept of internal resistance in a circuit. We have two scenarios with different external resistances and currents, which will help us derive two equations to find the internal resistance (r) and the emf (ε) of the cell.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Write the equations based on Ohm's law:**
For a cell with emf ε and internal resistance r, the current I through an external resistance R is given by:
\[
I = \frac{\epsilon}{R + r}
