Current Electricity

When an external resistance of 5 is connected across terminals of a cell, a current of 0.25 A flows through it. When the 5 resistor is replaced by a 2 resistor, a current of 0.5 A flows through it. The internal resistance of the cell is .

The voltage and the current between A and B points shown in the circuit are . [figure]
