A battery with an emf of 12 V theoretically supplies 4 A of current to the circuit's load if internal resistance is not taken into consideration. When the internal resistance is included, the current is calculated to be 3 A. The load's resistance, R, and the internal resistance, r, are

1. R = 1 ?, r = 3 ? 2. R = 1/3 ?, r = 11/3 ? 3. R = 3 ?, r = 1 ? 4. R = 3 ?, r = 4 ?
