Internal resistance
Also called Battery internal resistance, Terminal voltage
Internal resistance is the resistance of the material inside a real battery, modelled as a resistor sitting in series with an ideal battery. Because of it, the potential difference across the terminals drops below the emf as soon as current flows.
This is the one thing the ideal battery leaves out, and the CED puts it back in exactly that way: the internal resistance of a nonideal battery may be treated as the resistance of a resistor in series with an ideal battery and the remainder of the circuit (11.5.B.2).
The consequence is measurable. When there is current in a nonideal battery with internal resistance , the potential difference across the terminals is reduced relative to the potential difference when there is no current (11.5.B.3):
Both CEDs label that a derived equation, and it is printed on neither equation sheet. Check the appendices and you will not find it: you are expected to produce it from the loop rule, not look it up.
Reading the equation. At the terminal potential difference equals the emf, which is exactly how the CED defines emf in the first place. Every ampere you draw costs another volts, spent inside the source itself and dissipated there. A tired battery is usually one whose has grown, not one whose emf has collapsed.
That also gives the standard lab: plot terminal potential difference against current for a real cell, and the vertical intercept is the emf while the magnitude of the slope is the internal resistance.
