For the real battery shown in the figure, calculate the power dissipated by a resistor R connected to the battery when R1 = 2.3 \Omega.

The figure shows a better with 10 omega on top and 1.5 volts on bottom.

The internal resistance of the battery is 10 Ohm. So the total resistance of the (serial) circuit is 12.3 Ohm.
Therefore the current in the circuit will be:

I = V / R = 1.5 V / 12.3 Ohm = 0.122 Ampere.

Hence the power dissipated in the resistance is:

P = I^2 R = (0.122 A)^2 * 2.3 Ohm = 34.2 mW
