Problem

Two identical batteries, each of emf 6.0 V and internal resistance 0.20 Ω\Omega, are connected in series and used to power a single 4.0 Ω\Omega resistor. What is the efficiency of this system, defined as the percentage of total power produced by the batteries that is dissipated in the external resistor? (a) 95 %95\ \% (b) 100 %100\ \% (c) 91 %91\ \% (d) 90 %90\ \%
