Suppose you measure the terminal voltage of a 1.585-V

QUESTION:

Suppose you measure the terminal voltage of a \(1.585-V\) alkaline cell having an internal resistance of \(0.100 \Omega\) by placing a \(1.00-k \Omega\) voltmeter across its terminals. (See Figure \(21.54\).)

(a) What current flows?

(b) Find the terminal voltage.

(c) To see how close the measured terminal voltage is to the emf, calculate their ratio.
