Given: Emf of battery= 10V, Internal resistance= 5ohm, External resistance= 15 ohm
To find: the potential difference across a 15-ohm resistor
Solution: Internal resistance is the resistance of the power supply. And internal resistance of the power supply only cause a change in terminal voltage and create a voltage drop across the internal resistance.
Here we can imagine that the internal resistance and external resistance are connected in series. Therefore
The total resistance of the circuit= external resistance+ internal resistance
R= 20ohm
Current throughout the circuit will be
I= 1/2A
The potential difference across 15ohm resistor will be = E-Ir = 10-(1/2×5)= 15/2 V
Therefore, the potential difference across 15-ohm resistor is 15/2 V.
