Can anyone please answer with working for the following question?

(b)   Using the correct circuit the student obtains the following results.
Current in the cell
I/A   Terminal potential difference
              across the cell V/V
0.5   1.2
0.9   1.0
1.5   0.8
1.9   0.6
2.5   0.4
2.9   0.2
?
(i)   On the grid below, plot these results and draw the line of best fit through your points.
   
(ii)   Use your graph to determine the e.m.f. of the cell.
e.m.f. = .........................................

^ Which paper is that, cuz i cant plot a grap here :P so maybe i cant post my paper
And if u have plotted the graph then Emf is the y intercept :)

Thanx. Yes I did ploted the graph and you are right the y-intercept from graph does match the limits given in the answers. It is from a bunch of papers of Physics (each chapter) like Examzone with answers. I downloaded them from the forums. And its answer is stated as : e.m.f. = [1.36 – 1.44 V]

Oh okay..Good luck with those :)

Question in attachment..Can anyone draw the circuit

The ms says this:

See 2 resistors in parallel with supply (1)
Supply across ends of variable resistor (10 ?) (1)
Fixed resistor across one end and slider (consequent mark) (1)

Thanks

GG...Ur awesome :D

I have few more doubts  ::)

In first Q..Why is the answer D?  ???

The last two Qs are of the same sort, just need a basic explanation.

Thanks Alot :)

It'll take me time to type all my answers so I hope you have patience.

EDIT : I don't get the first one and the last one :S


my answer for the second Question is as follows ;

Lamp

As the temperature increases , the atoms vibrate violently .
flow of charge is blocked by the vibrating atoms.
 the flow of charge decreases and ,since the flow of charges is directly proportional to the current , the current decreases hence the resistance increases

Thermistor

As temperature increases , the electrons gain Kinetic energy  and they hit the lattice atoms and  the flow of charges increases , and since the flow of charges is directly proportional to the current , the current increases and hence the resistance decreases

EDIT :
for the First Question

Thanks to Master_Key ;

Divide the current into two parts. Like if 3 A Max.

then 1A for R

and 2A for R1+R2.

P = I2R

For P of R
P = 12R

For P of R1+R2
P = 22R1 or R2

P in R1 and R2 are same

Ratio is 1 : 4.

or  Conside R and R1+R2 in parallel.

Take V as a fixed V. In parallel circuits, V is always same.
P = V2/R

For P of R

P = V2/R

For P of R1+R2

P = V2/(R1+R2)

and find the ratio.

EDIT again :P

Question 3.
I = nAqv where
 I = current
 n = charge carrier density
 q = charge of an electron
 v = drift speed

Increase in temperature decreases the resistance of Thermistor.
The increase in temperature causes an increase in drift velocity, so current increases if voltage is to remain same. That explains I against V graphs that defy Ohm's law (which would predict a straight line) for thermistor.

hope i helped.

Lol the 1st question is the 1st question of the specimen paper  :) See My Diagram Attached

Suppose the resistance of each resistor is 10 ohm......the total R through line 1 will be 10 ohm and the total R through line 2 will be 20 ohm......

So the current through line 2 will be halved( use the equation V=IR if R doubles, I is halved)

So using the Eq: P= I2 x R for line 2 if the current is halved, the P is quartered....D is the answer

lol....i know its tricky but go in sequence and use the right equatons  ;)

Okay...Thx for ur help too :D

Lol..I hate when we have to do all this just for one mark  >:(

And i still didnt do the past papers so I didnt knew this Q is there :P

One more doubt..

2009 Jan Q16 (b)

I understand that the voltage is same, and I wrote that A is brighter 'cause more current flows through it as it has less resistance than B.
But I dont get why the MS is relating it to power equations  ???
Is my answer considered wrong or what?  :-\

Thx

Hate electricity chapter  >:(

Usually when a lamp is brighter that's cuz of the Power it dissipates ;) that's why ,Which is why I suggest you write your answer according to the power equations if you don't get it ,let me know :)
