To find the internal resistance of the primary cell, we can use the relationship between electromotive force (e.m.f.), current, and internal resistance. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the given values - The e.m.f. (Electromotive Force) of the primary cell, \( E = 2 \, \text{V} \) - The current when the cell is shorted, \( I = 4 \, \text{A} \) ### Step 2: Use the formula for e.m.f. The formula relating e.m.f., current, internal resistance, and terminal voltage is given by: ...
