For a cell,the terminal potential difference $(P.D.)$ is $2.2\;V$ when the circuit is open and reduces to $1.8\;V$ when the cell is connected to an external resistance of $R = 5\;\Omega$. Determine the internal resistance $(r)$ of the cell.

  • A
    $\frac{10}{9}\;\Omega$
  • B
    $\frac{9}{10}\;\Omega$
  • C
    $\frac{11}{9}\;\Omega$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{9}\;\Omega$
