Practical - Internal Resistance
This experiment allows you to find physical constants from a graph.
Anchor 1
1. Measuring Internal Resistance and EMF
You can calculate the internal resistance of a cell by changing the external resistance of the circuit and recording the terminal PD of the cell. When a graph is plotted the gradient is the negative value of 'r' while the y-intercept should be equal to the EMF of the cell.
