We know that when we connect an appliance
to the battery, a current flows through the
circuit that is proportional to the voltage. The
ratio of the voltage (V) across an object to the
current flowing through it because of the
potential is known as the resistance of that
object. Resistance in Electricity can be linked to
Friction in Mechanics. The electrical resistance
of a body is the measure of the difficulty in
passing an electric current through it. The SI
unit of electrical resistance is ohm (Ω). The
phenomenon of electrical resistance has led to
the creation of electrical heaters and induction
cooktops. Resistance is given by
R= V
I
The below video explains the relation between
the EMF and voltage:

Internal Resistance
Similar to how a body opposes the flow of
electricity through it, leading to resistance, the
electrolytes in batteries have a finite value of
resistance. The resistance generated inside a
battery to the flow of current is referred to as
the internal resistance of a battery (r). When a
power source delivers current, the measured
voltage output is lower than the voltage when
no current is flowing through the circuit. This
voltage drop is caused by the internal
resistance of the battery to the flow of current
through it.
I= V
R
= 1A
In reality, when we measure we measure 0.8 A.
R= V
I
= 10 Ω
So the internal resistance of the battery in this
case is:
Rinternal = Rtotal–Rexternal
Substiuting the values in the above equation,
we get:
Rinternal = 10 Ω–8 Ω = 2 Ω
