The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is 9v when it is discharged with a current of 3A. When the same battery is charged by 2A current, the potential difference across its terminals is 12v. The emf and internal resistance of the battery is?

Let the EMF be E and Resistance be R...
When the battery is discharging, then the current is coming out of the positive terminal. then the potential across the battery terminals will be:
V = E - I R
9 = E - 3 R --- (1)
when the battery is charging, then the current goes inside the positive terminal. then : V = E + I R
12 = E + 2 R --- (2)
solving them, 5 R = 3 => R = 0.6 ohms.
E = 10.8 Volts or 54/5 Volts.
