Problem

A single battery with unknown emf and internal resistance is tested with two different external resistors. When a 2.0 Ω resistor is connected, the terminal potential difference is 1.8 V. When a 5.0 Ω resistor is connected, the terminal potential difference is 2.5 V. Determine (i) the emf and (ii) the internal resistance of the battery.
