Homework Statement
There is a battery producing emf V and the current around the circuit is I. The battery has an internal resistance of R. What is the power transformed by the battery
Homework Equations
P = VI
P= I2R
The Attempt at a Solution
Maybe P=VI+I2R because there is some electrical energy converted in the cell resulting in the power VI And then the same power is used to create power I2R in the internal resistance.
So shouldn't it be the sum of the two powers because it is the total power transformed.
