What effect does internal resistance have on a battery's terminal voltage when current flows?

Makes it less than the emf

When does the terminal voltage of a battery equal its emf?

When no current flows (I=0I = 0)

In the formula ε=V+Ir\varepsilon = V + Ir, what does IrIr represent?

Voltage drop across internal resistance

Which formula calculates power dissipated by internal resistance?

P=I2rP = I^2r

How should internal resistance be treated when solving circuit problems?

As a resistor in series with emf source

A battery has r=0.1r = 0.1 Ω. Current is 2.02.0 A. What is the voltage drop across rr?

0.20.2 V

With terminal voltage 23.023.0 V, current 2.02.0 A, and r=0.1r = 0.1 Ω, what is the emf?

23.223.2 V

Two resistors (4.04.0 Ω and 1212 Ω) in parallel give what equivalent resistance?

3.03.0 Ω

What happens to terminal voltage when current through internal resistance increases?

It decreases

In a balanced Wheatstone bridge, what is the formula for unknown resistance RxR_x?

Rx=R2×R3R1R_x = \frac{R_2 \times R_3}{R_1}
