# Calculate ri if the output of a generator drops from 100 V with zero load current to 80 V when Il is 2 A.

# Given data

Vo0 = 100#      # Vo at zero load current=100 Volts
Vo1 = 80#       # Vo at 2 A load current=80 Volts
Il = 2#         # Load current=2 Amps

Ri = (Vo0-Vo1)/Il#
print 'The Resistance ri = %0.f Ohms'%Ri
The Resistance ri = 10 Ohms
