SPM Questions: EMF & Internal Resistance


  1. The electromotive force and internal
    resistance of the dry cell in the
    circuit
    below is 1.5 V and 0.5 ohm respectively.

What is the reading of the voltmeter when the switch is closed? (SPM04)
A. 0V
B. 1.5V
C. Less than 1.5 V
D. More than 1.5 V

Ans: C

E = V + Ir
1.5 = V + I(0.5) , then rearrange he equation,
V= 1.5 – 0.5(I)
Thus V is less than 1.5V

  1. Which circuit can be used to determine the electromotive force of a battery? (SPM
    05)


Ans: C , If the switch is opened, the voltmeter across battery will give the e.m.f reading

  2. ok..u kena fhm & hafal circuit utk emf experiment..then baru u fhm camana nk jwb.
    Btw, soalan 1, dia suruh kira voltage of the voltmeter, so apply je formula emf,
    E = V + IR... V= voltage of voltmeter. Formula ni tak dibagi masa xm..so tlg hafal
