Electromotive force and potential difference — practice question

Fig. 6.1 shows a circuit made up of a battery with electromotive force (e.m.f.) $4.5\,\text{V}$, a $28\,\Omega$ resistor, and a variable resistor.
(a)[1]

The battery is formed from three identical cells in series. Determine the e.m.f. of each cell.

(b(i))[2]

The potential difference (p.d.) across the variable resistor is $2.5\,\text{V}$. State what is meant by potential difference.

(b(ii))[3]

Calculate the resistance in the variable resistor.
