`2A` cell having an emf `epsilon` and internal resistance `r` is connected across a variable external resistance `R`. As the resistance `R` is increased, the plot of potential difference `V` across `R` is given by

Verified by Experts

`V = E - Ir = E - V/R r" "(because I = V//R)`
or `V(1 + r/R) = E or V= (E)/((1 +r//R))`
As R increase V also increase.
On ploting a graph between V and R, we get a curve of the type as shown in figure

When graph becomes parallel to resistance axis,
then, `V = E and R = oo` .
