(b) Let the internal resistance of cell be $r$,

then $i = \frac{E}{{R + r}}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $15 = \frac{{1.5}}{{0.04 + r}}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $r = 0.06\,\Omega $

    Consider a block of conducting material ofresistivity '$\rho$' shown in the figure. Current '$I$' enters at '$A$' and leaves from '$D$'. We apply superp osition principle to find voltage '$\Delta  V$ ' developed between '$B$' and '$C$'. The calculation is done in the following steps:
    $(i)$ Take current '$I$' entering from '$A$' and assume it to spread over a hemispherical surface in the block.
    $(ii)$ Calculatefield $E(r)$ at distance '$r$' from $A$ by using Ohm's law $E = \rho  j$, where j is the current per unit area at '$r$'.
    (iii) From the '$r$' dependence of $E(r)$, obtain the potential $V(r)$ at $r$.
    (iv) Repeat $(i), (ii)$ and $(iii)$ for current '$I$' leaving '$D$' and superpose results for '$A$' and '$D$'.
