Answer

a. Internal resistance of the cell is $0.65Ω$ b. Power dissipation across the cell is $3.5 W$

Work Step by Step

a. Here the current is generated by only the internal resistance as the ammeter is ideal $V = IR$ $1.5V = 2.3A\times R$ $R = 0.65Ω$ b. Power dissipation of a cell can be taken by the equation $P=VI$ Where V is the emf of the cell and I is the current generated $P=1.5V\times 2.3A = 3.45W \approx 3.5W$
