Answer

$r = 50~m \Omega$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the potential difference across the resistor is $1.0~V$ We can find the current in the circuit: $i = \frac{V}{R}$ $i = \frac{1.0~V}{0.10~\Omega}$ $i = 10~A$ We can find the internal resistance of the battery: $V = \mathscr{E}-i~r$ $i~r = \mathscr{E}-V$ $r = \frac{\mathscr{E}-V}{i}$ $r = \frac{1.5~V-1.0~V}{10~A}$ $r = 50~m \Omega$
