Hi Spec,
Your equation gives the correct value for the internal resistance of the cell .
ri = ( [I1*1]-[I2*4])/ (I2-I1). gives the correct answer.
= (1.2 * 1)- (0.4 *4)/(0.4-1.2)
= 1.2-1.6/-0.8
= -0.4/-0.8
= 0.5
If you are willing to accept negative resistance, then your currents can be anything you want. Otherwise, you cannot expect to have more current after increasing the resistance.
les jones is right.keep up really liked your answer and sorry that i didn't specify that ammeter has no resistance.now it is very easy to find out EMF do it guys.
