    a) given resistance R = 6.2Ω

    Internal resistance r = 0.38Ω

    Electromotive force E. m. f = 4v

    Time = 2.6 * 60 = 156 seconds

    E = [ (emf) ^2 : (R + r) ] * t

    =>[ (16: 6.58) * 156]

    = 2.431 * 156

    Energy transfered = 379.24J

    b) current I = emf : (R+r)

    I = 4: (6.58)

    I = 0.607 A

    Therefore thermal energy=

    I^2 * R * t = 0.607^2 * 6.2 * 156

    Thermal energy dissipated in wire

    E = 356.36J

    C). Thermal energy dissipated in battery

    I^2 * r * t = 0.607^2 * 0.38 * 156

    E = 21.84J
