Internal resistance:
- Internal resistance is the opposition to the flow of current inside the cells and batteries.
- This internal resistance is responsible for the heating up of cells or batteries.
- The relationship between internal resistance and emf of a cell is given by:
V = E - ir
Where E is the emf, I is current, R is the resistance of the load, V is the potential difference across the cell, and r is the internal resistance of the cell.
Explanation:
- The internal resistance is undesirable.
- It affects the overall potential difference across the battery and the amount of current.
In the above diagram, the external resistance is R and the current in the circuit is I.
The external resistance and the internal resistance are in series.
By Kirchoff's Voltage Law
E = ir + iR
If there has been no internal resistance the current would have been
Clearly, I' > I
So, current obtained is more without internal resistance.
So, internal resistance for the ideal case is expected to be zero.
