A cell of emf E is connected across an external resistance R. When current 'I' is drawn from the cell, the potential difference across the electrodes of the cell drops to V. The internal resistance 'r' of the cell is `underlinebb(((E - V)/V)R)`.
Explanation:
The electromotive force (e) or e.m.f. is the energy provided by a cell or battery per coulomb of charge passing through it. It is measured in volts (V). It is equal to the potential difference across the terminals of the cell when no current is flowing through it. E = I(R + r), where E = electromotive force in volts, I = current in amperes, R = resistance of the load in the circuit in ohms, and r = internal resistance of the cell in ohms. That is, E = IR + Ir, E = V + Ir.
Rearranging the equation we get,
r = `((E - V))/I`
Substituting `I = V/R` in the above equation, we get,
r = `((E - V)R)/V`
∴ Internal resistance, r = `((E - V)R)/V`

A storage battery of emf 8.0 V and internal resistance 0.5 Ω is being charged by a 120 V dc supply using a series resistor of 15.5 Ω. What is the terminal voltage of the battery during charging? What is the purpose of having a series resistor in the charging circuit?
The earth’s surface has a negative surface charge density of 10−9 C m−2. The potential difference of 400 kV between the top of the atmosphere and the surface results (due to the low conductivity of the lower atmosphere) in a current of only 1800 A over the entire globe. If there were no mechanism of sustaining atmospheric electric field, how much time (roughly) would be required to neutralise the earth’s surface? (This never happens in practice because there is a mechanism to replenish electric charges, namely the continual thunderstorms and lightning in different parts of the globe). (Radius of earth = 6.37 × 106 m.)
