Electric circuits — practice question

A battery has an electromotive force (e.m.f.) of $7.5\text{ V}$.
(a)[2]

Define what is meant by electromotive force.

(b(i))[3]

Draw a circuit diagram showing the $1.5\text{ V}$ cells arranged to give an e.m.f. of $7.5\text{ V}$, together with the variable resistor and the $30\Omega$ resistor.

(b(ii))[4]

With the axes in Fig. 7.1, plot a graph showing how the current in the circuit changes as the resistance of the variable resistor rises from $0\Omega$ to $150\Omega$. Find and mark the maximum current on the y-axis.
