Physics Project: Factors Affecting Internal Resistance and EMF of a Cell

This document outlines experiments to study the factors on which the internal resistance and

electromotive force (EMF) of a cell depend. Each experiment includes the aim, materials required,

and the procedure, accompanied by a specific diagram.

Experiment 1: Effect of Temperature on EMF and Internal Resistance

Aim: To study the effect of temperature on the EMF and internal resistance of a cell.

Materials Required: Voltmeter, thermometer, cell, beaker, water, connecting wires, and a resistor.

Procedure:

1. Place the cell in a beaker filled with water.

2. Gradually heat the water and measure the cell's voltage using a voltmeter at different

temperatures.

3. Record the temperature using the thermometer.

4. Plot a graph of EMF and internal resistance versus temperature.

Diagram: Include a diagram showing the experimental setup.

Experiment 2: Effect of Concentration of Electrolyte

Aim: To investigate how the concentration of electrolyte affects the internal resistance and EMF of a

cell.

Materials Required: Electrolytic cell, voltmeter, variable power supply, different concentrations of

electrolyte solutions, and connecting wires.


Procedure:

1. Prepare solutions of different concentrations of the same electrolyte.

2. Measure the EMF and internal resistance of the cell for each concentration.

3. Use a voltmeter to record the voltage and a resistor to calculate internal resistance.

4. Plot graphs of EMF and internal resistance against the concentration of the electrolyte.

Diagram: Include a diagram showing the experimental setup.

Experiment 3: Effect of Distance Between Electrodes

Aim: To determine the effect of the distance between electrodes on the internal resistance of a cell.

Materials Required: Electrolytic cell, voltmeter, electrodes, ruler, variable resistor, and connecting

wires.

Procedure:

1. Place the electrodes at varying distances in the electrolyte.

2. Measure the voltage and current using the voltmeter and calculate internal resistance.

3. Record the data for different distances.

4. Plot a graph of internal resistance versus distance between electrodes.

Diagram: Include a diagram showing the experimental setup.
