Section A
1 A student carries out an experiment to determine the electromotive force (e.m.f.) and the internal
resistance of a cell. Fig. 1.1 shows the circuit the student uses.
Fig. 1.1
A V
The student changes the resistance of the variable resistor and measures corresponding values
of current through and potential difference across the variable resistor.
The graph in Fig. 1.2 shows the student’s results.
