Well, V = E - Ir, would you solve for r to be 5.08V = 15V - 3.1A*r? And I am sorry, but I don't quit get what you mean by a voltage divider, they split evenly?
Homework Statement
In the circuit (http://i.imgur.com/II38M.jpg),a variable resistor R is connected across the terminals of a battery, and an ideal ammeter and ideal voltmeter are also connected. In the figure, E is the internal emf of the battery, and r is its internal resistance. All the...
I am sorry, but I still don't see what to do. I feel like this is a simple problem, but I am lost. I don't want to seem like I am just asking for an answer, but I've been struggling with this for the past 2 hours and nothing is making sense. After they are connected it would be something like...
Homework Statement
Capacitor C1 is charged so that potential difference between its plates is 20V. Another capacitor C2=33 microF has potential difference of 4 V. After plates of the capacitor that carry the charge of the opposite sign were connected the potential difference became 2V, find...
