Answer:
V = 4.81 V
Explanation:
- As the potential difference between the battery terminals, is less than the rated value of the battery, this means that there is some loss in the internal resistance of the battery.
- We can calculate this loss, applying Ohm's law to the internal resistance, as follows:
- The value of the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, is just the voltage of the battery, minus the loss in the internal resistance, as follows:
- We can solve for rint, as follows:
- When the circuit draws from battery a current I of 0.469A, we can find the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, as follows:
- As the current draw is larger, the loss in the internal resistance will be larger too, so the potential difference between the terminals of the battery will be lower.
