Homework Statement
A voltaic element with electromotive voltage E=1,1V and with internal resistance r=1ohm, is connected to an external resistor with the resistance R=9ohm. Determine the current I which circulates in the circuit, also the falls of voltage on the external portion of the circuit VR and on the internal portion of the circuit Vr. Also, at what yield the voltaic element works?
Homework Equations
I=V/R
I=E/(r+R)
The Attempt at a Solution
The first step is easy, I mean calculating the I (I=E/(r+R)=1,1/(1+10)=0,11), but then I have some doubts.. Will it be right to calculate VR as VR=I*R and Vr as Vr=I*r? or maybe I must reduce something because it says: "the falls of voltage" so there should be a higher value and a smaller one.
