Answer

$W_\epsilon=80J$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $W_\epsilon=Pt$ and $P=i\epsilon$ Thus, we obtain: $W_\epsilon=i\epsilon t$.....eq(1) Where $W_\epsilon$ is the energy transferred from chemical form in the battery We also know that: $i=\frac{\epsilon}{r+R}=\frac{2}{1+5}=0.33A$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $W_{e}=(.33A)(2V)(120s)=80J$
