As learnt in

Power dissipiated in external resistance -

P=(frac{E}{R+r})^{2}R

-

 

 

Power dissipated in 9 \Omega=36 \:watt

\therefore P =I^{2}R\:\:\Rightarrow I=\sqrt{\frac{P}{R}}=2a

Current through 6 \Omega=2 \times \frac{9}{6}=3A

\therefore Current through 2 \Omega=5A

Potential difference=10\:V


Option 1)

4 volt
