How can you determine the emf & internal resistance of a cell?
How can you determine the emf & internal resistance of a cell?
- Vary current using a variable resistor
- Record corresponding values for current and potential difference
- Graph potential difference against current
- negative gradient = internal resistance
- y-intercept = emf
y = mx +c
V = -rI + E

- This causes the temperature to increase
- Therefore resistance increases
- And rate of change of gradient decreases
