    1.1ohms

    Explanation:

    According to ohms law E = IR

    If potential difference of a battery is 2.2 V when it is connected across a resistance of 5 ohm and if suddenly the voltage Falls to 1.8V then the current in the 5ohms resistor I = V/R = 1.8/5

    I = 0.36A (This will be the load current).

    Before we can calculate the value of the internal resistance, we need to know the voltage drop across the internal resistance.

    Voltage drop = 2.2V - 1.8V = 0.4V

    Then we calculate the internal resistance using ohms law.

    According to the law, V = Ir

    V = voltage drop

    I is the load current

    r = internal resistance

    0.4 = 0.36r

    r = 0.4/0.36

    r = 1.1 ohms
