SOALAN ULANGKAJI SPM 2012

A student carries out an experiment to determine the electromotive force (e.m.f.) , E and the internal resistance, r of a dry cell. The student used five resistors with different values of resistance, R and fixed the e.m.f. , E of the cell.

The graph of the reciprocal of current, 1 against resistance, R is shown below:

1 / A-1 I
