It is claimed that a certain camcorder battery can provide a potential difference of 9.60 v and a current of 1.50 a. what is the resistance through which the battery must be discharged? Step by step please

"The potential difference between the terminals of a battery

will equal the emf of the battery when there is no current in the

battery. At this time, the current though, and hence the potential

drop across the internal resistance is zero. This only happens when

there is no load placed on the battery-that includes measuring the

potential difference with a voltmeter! The terminal voltage will

exceed the emf of the battery when current is driven backward

through the battery, in at its positive terminal and out at its

negative terminal."
