1)

Step 1:

The emf of the 10 primary cell image is 15 V.

The Load resistance connected across the cell is .

The terminal potential difference is 12 V.

The voltage across the load is defined as .

Voltage across the load is equal to the potential difference across the terminal of the battery.

The supplied current .

Solution:

The supplied current .

Step 1:

Suppose that the battery with emf image and internal resistance image supplies a current image through an external load resistor image, then the potential difference across the battery is .

Substitute , and in .

The overall internal resistance is .

Internal resistance per cell is .

Solution:

Internal resistance per cell is image.

Step 1:

Power in the external circuit :

Power can be calculated using the relation : image .

Where image is emf of the battery,

          is current through the circuit,

image

Therefore, the power in the external circuit is 6 W.

Solution:

The power in the external circuit is 6 W.
