You are supplied with a battery that has an emf of 10V and a piece of rubber with a resistivity of 8x10^13 m. The rubber has dimensions of 2 cm x 3 cm x 9 cm.

A. If you wanted to use the piece of rubber as a resistor with the lowest possible resistance which faces would you connect the battery to? The 2x3 cm2 , 2x9 cm2 , or 3x9 cm2 sides? Why?

B. Calculate the resistance of the piece of rubber if the battery is connected to the 2x3 cm2 faces. This will be the ‘resistor’ for the following steps.

C. Sketch the arrangement of the battery connected to the 2x3 cm2 ends of the rubber, the resistor.

D. When the resistor is connected to the battery at the 2x3cm2 ends, what is the current through the resistor?

E. What is the potential change across the resistor? F. What is the power dissipated in the resistor?

G. If an identical battery is connect to the first one, what is the emf and the current in the circuit?

Phsics Problem,Please show steps. A) You are given a battery, which has, of course, a particular emf and a particular internal resistance (Rint). You decide to determine its internal resistance and its emf by connecting an ammeter in series with a variable resistor across the battery. By varying the resistance you can draw more or less current from the battery. You also use a voltmeter to measure the voltage across the terminals of the battery. Case 1) When you draw...
