Sure. Make sure you draw the circuit, that's pretty crucial. Call the internal resistance Ri.
Apply KVL to find the voltage across the internal resistance.
Use Ohm's law to find I in the external resistor:
Y = I * R
I = Y / R
Assume I is the same everywhere in the loop. This is a trivial case of KCL.
Use Ohm's law on the internal resistance to find its value.
My approach to these things tends to be just write down as many non-trivial equations as you can think of then solve them. |
