### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definitions**: - **Internal Resistance (r)**: This is the resistance offered by the electrolyte of the cell to the flow of current. It is a measure of how much the cell resists the flow of electric current internally. - **Electromotive Force (e.m.f., E)**: This is the potential difference between the two terminals of a cell when no current is flowing (open circuit). It represents the energy supplied by the cell per unit charge. - **Terminal Potential Difference (V)**: This is the potential difference across the terminals of the cell when current is flowing (closed circuit). It is the voltage available to the external circuit. 2. **Relation Derivation**: ...
