The diagram below shows a battery connected in series with a 2 ohm resistor and a switch S. A voltmeter connected across the battery reads 6\text{ V} when S is opened and 4\text{ V} when S is closed. What is the internal resistance of the battery?

  1. (A)0.3\text{ }\Omega
  2. (B)1.0\text{ }\Omega
  3. (C)2.0\text{ }\Omega
  4. (D)3.0\text{ }\Omega
