Distinguish between potential difference (p.d.) and electromotive force (e.m.f.) by referring to the energy transformations involved.
State Kirchhoff’s second law for a closed loop.
Calculate the current flowing in the circuit.
On Fig. 4.1, draw an arrow showing the current direction in the circuit. Label the arrow $I$.
As shown in Fig. 4.1, cells A and B are connected in series with a resistor $R$ whose resistance is $5.5\,\Omega$. Cell A has e.m.f. $4.4\,\text{V}$ and internal resistance $2.3\,\Omega$. Cell B has e.m.f. $2.1\,\text{V}$ and internal resistance $1.8\,\Omega$.
Calculate the p.d. across resistor $R$.
Calculate the terminal p.d. across cell A.
Calculate the terminal p.d. across cell B.
