Answer:
1.1ohms
Explanation:
According to ohms law E = IR
If potential difference of a battery is 2.2 V when it is connected across a resistance of 5 ohm and if suddenly the voltage Falls to 1.8V then the current in the 5ohms resistor I = V/R = 1.8/5
I = 0.36A (This will be the load current).
Before we can calculate the value of the internal resistance, we need to know the voltage drop across the internal resistance.
Voltage drop = 2.2V - 1.8V = 0.4V
Then we calculate the internal resistance using ohms law.
According to the law, V = Ir
V= voltage drop
I is the load current
r = internal resistance
0.4 = 0.36r
r = 0.4/0.36
r = 1.1 ohms
