Given,

There are 6 secondary cells.

Emf of each cell, E = 2 V (In series)

The internal resistance of each cell, r = 0.015 Ω (In series)

And the resistance of the resistor, R = 8.5 Ω

Let I be the current drawn in the circuit.

I = \frac{nE}{R + nr}

\implies I = \frac{6(2)}{8.5 + 6(0.015)} = \frac{12}{8.59}

\implies I = 1.4 A

Hence current drawn from supply is 1.4 A

Therefore, terminal voltage, V = IR = 1.4 x 8.5 = 11.9 V
