Detailed Solution

V = E + ir = iR 

in a closed circuit with R as an external resistance.

The terminal potential difference of a cell is equal to the emf of the cell (V = E) when:

→ The cell is an open circuit which means i = 0.               

→ The internal resistance of the cell is zero.

→ The load resistance much greater than internal resistance.
