Title: Investigating the emf and Internal Resistance of an electrical cell

 OBJECTIVES/PROBLEMS:
Batteries and cells have a certain electromotive force (emf, ɛ) and an internal
resistance (r). When they are connected to an external load resistor (R),
current flows through the closed circuit. The internal resistance of the cell
itself resists the flow of current and so thermal (heat) energy is wasted in the
cell.
In this experiment, the unknown value of emf(ɛ) and the internal resistance
(r) of a cell will be determined.

 Hypothesis
When a cell with a certain emf is connected to a load resistor, the voltage
across the load resistor will drop by Ir.

1. Multi-meters
2. (1.5V) Battery
3. Resistors
4. Crocodile Wires
