Answer

Potential Difference = 8 V

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 Potential Difference = emf - i * internal resistance = 20 - 3(4) = 8 v
