Could someone give me advice on how I should go about approaching this question because I'm stumped lol

Lost volts = 2V/3. Current = pd across 2 ohm resistor / 2ohms, so V/3/2. Does that help you to work out the internal resistance using the formulae?

ohhh thanks a lot. Why is the lost volts 2v/3 and not v/3 if the voltmeter is applied across the internal resistance? - I kept using lost volts as v/3 which was where I kept messing up.

If you connected the voltmeter across the resistor, you’d still get V/3 as that’s the terminal pd.

Instead of working out the current, you can use the potential divider argument to determine r:
If 2 Ohms recieves V/3
2V/3 must be given to an internal reistor with 4 Ohms resistance.
But you can go about this by determining the current in the circuit and applying V = Ir. This is just a simpler alternative that consoldiates knowledge on potential dividers.

When a voltmeter is connected across the battery, it always measures the terminal pd.
