In our basic model of a battery, we said that the force per unit charge the battery provides through chemical reactions (f) had a magnitude equal the electric field produced by the separated charge (E). This maintains a constant drift speed across the battery for the electrons.

If the battery has some internal resistance (r), which is larger?

  1. |f|
  2. |E|
  3. Both still the same
