Apparatus : 1.5V (approx) cell, Resistance box, Push switch, Digital Ammeter
(0-1A).
Method :
Theory:
The emf of a cell is the total p.d. it can produce around the circuit, including
any potential wasted in driving current through the cell itself.
The internal resistance of a cell is simply the resistance from one terminal of
the cell to the other.
since V = IR
then E = I (R+r)
so E/I = R + r
Hence: R = E(1/I) - r
