Question

Im trying to figure out this problem for  internal resistance of cell and i keep going in cirles. I know the e.m.f , and 7 external resistance and the resulting terminal voltage across the resistor. im asked to figure out the equation(from directions below) then i need draw a graph. Can someone help me figure this out and what vales go on the x and y axis? and how would i use the slope to get a value for r (internal resistance).

If I is the current in the external resistor R and r is the internal resistance of the cell, the equation for the whole circuit is:

            E = I(R + r)         

Explanation / Answer

E = I(R + r)
