You need to use the formula E = IR + Ir

where: E is the e.m.f. of the power supply (the theoretical maximum voltage across the terminals when no current is flowing)

I is current

R is resistance of the circuit (load resistance)

and r is the internal resistance of the power supply.

Therefore, you can rearrange this formula to give r:

E = IR + Ir (Subtract IR)

E-IR=Ir (divide by I)

(E-IR)/I=r or r=(E-IR)/I

How do you find resistance by a graph?

To find resistance from a graph of voltage vs. current, you can calculate the slope of the graph. Resistance is equal to the slope, so you can divide the voltage by the current to determine the resistance. The unit of resistance is ohms (Ω).
