A variable resistor is connected across the terminals of a battery. FIGURE EX28.21 shows the current in the circuit as is varied. What are the emf and internal resistance of the battery?

A circuit you’re building needs an ammeter that goes from to a full-scale reading of . Unfortunately, the only ammeter in the storeroom goes from to a full-scale reading of only . Fortunately, you’ve just finished a physics class, and you realize that you can make this ammeter work by putting a resistor in parallel with it, as shown in FIGURE P28.57. You’ve measured that the resistance of the ammeter is, not theof an ideal ammeter.
a. What value of R must you use so that the meter will go to full scale when the current I is?
b. What is the effective resistance of your ammeter?
The battery in FIGURE is short-circuited by an ideal ammeter having zero resistance.
a. What is the battery’s internal resistance?
b. How much power is dissipated inside the battery?

What is the equivalent resistance between points a and b in FIGURE EX28.28?

Bulbs A and B in FIGURE Q28.12 are identical, and both are glowing. What happens to each bulb when the switch is closed? Does its brightness increase, stay the same, decrease, or go out? Explain
