    a. 496.26J

    b. 442.29J

    c. 53.96J

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Resistance of wire is 5.0 Ω

    R = 5.0 Ω

    Connected to EMF of 4V

    ε = 4V.

    Internal resistance is 0.61Ω

    Time t = 2.9mins

    t = 2.9 * 60

    t = 174 seconds

    Power dissipated in the circuit

    The equivalent resistance of a series connection is

    Req = R1 + R2

    Req = R + r

    Req = 5+0.61

    Req = 5.61Ω

    The power dissipation is given as

    P = IV

    From ohms law V=iR

    Then, I=V/R

    So, P = (V/R) * V

    P = V²/R

    P = 4² / 5.61

    P = 16/5.61

    P = 2.852 Watts

    a. The energy transfer from chemical to the electrical is give as

    Power = Energy / Time

    P = E/t

    E = Pt

    E = 2.852 * 174

    E = 496.26J

    The energy transfer from chemical to the electrical as form of heat is 496.26J

    b. Energy dissipated in the wire

    The resistance of the wire is 5Ω

    The current flowing in the circuit is give as

    V = I (r + R)

    4 = I (0.61 + 5)

    4 = 5.61 * I

    Then, I = 4/5.61

    I = 0.713 Amps

    Then the current flowing in the circuit is 0.713A

    So, the energy dissipated it the wire of 5Ω is give as

    E = IVt

    Where V = IR from ohms law

    E = I²Rt

    E = 0.713² * 5 * 174

    E = 442.29 J

    The energy dissipated in the wire as form of heat is 442.29J.

    c. The energy dissipated in the battery

    Since, the internal resistance of the battery is 0.61Ω

    Then, energy dissipated is given as

    E = I² Rt

    E = 0.713² * 0.61 * 174

    E = 53.96J

    The energy dissipated in the battery it to its internal resistance as form of heat is 53.96J.
