Voltage Dividers

I'm getting all the questions in the text right, so I think my calculations are OK

Just imagine a resistor inside the battery. As you are an expert in Ohm's law:

V+  --  Ri --+-- R1 --+-- R2 ----GND     0.28mA
5.7V   330   |  10k   |  10k 
             |        |
            5.6V     2.8V      


V+  --  Ri --+-- R1 --+-- R2 ----GND     6.48mA
5.7V   330   |  270   |  270 
             |        |
            3.5V     1.75V

However the Ri size is not a real constant, just an estimate got from your actual numbers.
( As is the assumed "no load voltage" of 5.7V )

It should be clear that a with an internal resistance of about the same magnitude as the load, your 5.x V battery is far away from an ideal voltage source :wink:
