Alpha Particle Charged plates
E Field calc



E Field Bunsen Flame

Electron in E Field 3


Electron in E Field

Force in Field






Internal Resistance of a cell

Internal Resistance

Q 1,2 & 3 Look up the answers in your text books.

Q4       Total R = 2 + 5.5
            I =  1.5 V/Total R

            Pd across cell = pd across external R = I(5.5) = 1.1V

Q5       emf = 1.5V
            Lost volts = (1.5 – 1.2) V
Internal r = lost volts/0.30A = 1.0 ohm
External R = 1.2V/0.30A = 4.0 ohm

Q6       lost volts = 100A (0.04 ohm) = 4V
            Only 8V across external circuit so bulbs are dim

Q7       I=V/R= 1.25V/25 ohm = 0.05A
            Internal r = lost volts/I = 0.25V/0.05A = 5 ohms
            Total R with 10 ohm = 10 + 5 =15
            I = E/R = 1.5/15 = 0.1A
            V across terminals= V across 10 ohm R = 0.1A(10 ohm) = 1V

Coulomb's Law Practical


Electric Power and Cost

1 (a)      P = VI               P power in W
                                    V p.d. in V       
                                    I current in A


3000 = 240 x I
I=3000/240 =12.5A

(b)      V = IR
240=12.5R
R = 240/12.5 = 19.2 Ω

(c)      3 kW = 3000 W = 3000 joules per second
Energy used in 1 min = 3000 x 60 = 180 000 J

2        8A       31.25Ω

3        Resistance depends upon temperature

4        1 641 600 J

5        4800J

6        6

7        2.083 kW
