How does terminal voltage compare to EMF when current flows?

Terminal voltage is less than EMF

Which equation relates EMF, terminal voltage, current, and internal resistance?

ε=V+Ir\varepsilon = V + Ir

What happens to terminal voltage when current drawn from a battery increases?

Terminal voltage decreases

What is the formula for maximum current a battery can deliver?

Ic=εrI_c = \frac{\varepsilon}{r}
