The manufacturer of one brand of AAA battery states that the battery’s emf is 1.50 V, its internal resistance is 0.160 Ω, and the maximum allowed current for short times is 2.00 A. Find (a) the smallest resistance to which this battery can be connected for short times and (b) the potential difference across the battery terminals when it is so connected.
