Homework Statement
A battery has a current of 3.0A flow through it. It has an internal resistance of 0.039Ω and the circuit has a load of 45Ω.
a) What is the emf?
b) What is the voltage that flows?
Homework Equations
V = ε - IR
The Attempt at a Solution
ε = V + IR
ε = (45Ω)(3A) + (3A)(0.039Ω)
ε = 135V + 0.117V
a) 135.117V
b) 135V
I'm new to emf. Does this look correct? If not, can you explain where I went awry?
