Answer

Potential Difference = 6 A

Work Step by Step

emf = 20 internal resistance = 4 external resistance = 4 3(emf - internal resistance)- (2)(i)(external resistance) = 0 i = 3emf /( 3(internal resistance) + 3(external resistance)) i = 3(20)/(3(4) + 2(4)) i = 60/20 i = 3 you multiply i by 2 to account for both. Potential difference = 2i = 2(3) = 6
