An automobile battery has an emf of 12.4 V and an internal resistance of 0.09 Ω. The headlights have a total resistance of 5.0 Ω (assumed constant). What is the (a) current across the headlight bulbs when they are the only load on the battery? An automobile battery has an emf of 12.4 V and an internal resistance of 0.09 Ω. The headlights have a total resistance of 5.0 Ω (assumed constant). What is the (b) potential difference across the headlight bulbs when they are the only load on the battery? An automobile battery has an emf of 12.4 V and an internal resistance of 0.09 Ω. The headlights have a total resistance of 5.0 Ω (assumed constant). What is the (c) potential difference across the headlights when the starter motor is operated in a parallel circuit to the headlights, taking an additional 34 A from the battery?

The resistive circuits are governed by Ohm's law, which is as follows,
here E is the emf of battery, R is the resistance and I is the current flowing in the circuit.
When two resistors r and r' are connected in series the resultant resistance is,
and in parallel connection the resultant of two resistances is,
