Internal resistance

A power source used in the workshop has an EMF of 110V. When a load is applied the PD at the terminals drops to 95V when a current of 3A is drawn. Calculate the internal resistance of the power source?

EMF must equal the pd across the terminals and the pd across the internal resistor. First find voltage of internal resistor, then use V = IR
