One battery has an internal resistance of 0.255 Ω, and the other has an internal resistance of 0.153 Ω. When the switch is closed, the bulb carries a current of 600 mA. (a) What is the bulb’s resistance? (b) What fraction of the chemical energy transformed appears as internal energy in the batteries?
