Q36)
A cell is connected to a fixed resistor. Over a long period of time, the internal resistance of the cell
increases.
What is the effect of the increase in internal resistance on the electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the cell
and on the power dissipated by the fixed resistor?

Q37)
Four identical resistors are connected in a circuit, as shown.

The battery has negligible internal resistance and an e.m.f. of 30 V.

What is the potential difference between the two points X and Y?
A 6.0 V B 15 V C 20 V D 24 V

Q38)
A power supply and a solar cell are compared using the potentiometer circuit shown.

The potentiometer wire PQ is 100.0 cm long and has a resistance of 5.00 Ω. The power
supply has an e.m.f. of 2.000 V and the solar cell has an e.m.f. of 5.00 mV.
Which resistance R must be used so that the galvanometer reads zero when PS = 40.0 cm?

A 395 Ω B 405 Ω C 795 Ω D 805 Ω
