A battery with an Emf of 12 volts is hooked up to a 125 ohm resistor and an ammeter. The ammeter measures a current of 75 mA.

a) Calculate the internal resistance of the battery and the actual voltage across the battery.

b) Calculate the power dissipated in the resistor and the power generated by the battery.

c) The battery is now disconnected from the 125 ohm resistor and connected to a 60 watt light bulb. What will be the actual power output of the light bulb?

Answer should be:

a) Rint = 35 Ω Vb = 9.375 volts

b) Pr = .703 watts   Pb = .703 watts

c) P = .46 watts

Suppose you have a circuit with a 10 volt battery hooked up to a 100 ohm light bulb and a variable resistor of R ohms. The light bulb and the resistor can be hooked up in series or parallel. Draw both these circuits and label them as series or parallel and with the values of each component. Now, solve for the current in the light bulb in each of these circuits for R = 10, 100, and 1000 Ohms. Given...

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...
