Internal Resistance and EMF (ELC) Physics Portfolio By Clement Ng 12.6 Aim: To find out the internal resistance and EMF of a given power supply. Method: - Arrange apparatus as shown in the below circuit diagram - Start off by recording the corresponding voltage (terminal pd) and current by figuring out the values available in the voltmeter and ammeter. - Repeat previous procedures while the external load is varied, so that you obtain a set of voltage and current readings. - Calculate averages and plot a graph of current against voltage. Use the graph to figure out the internal resistance and the EMF of the power supply. Diagram: Skill 3 Data Collection Reading #1: Voltage (v) (? 0.01V) Current (A) (? 0.01A) Resistance (?)
