1 Combo Circuits & EMF

2 How much current flows from the battery in the circuit below? 12V 400  500  700 

3 EMF Any device (battery) that transforms one type of energy into electric energy is called a source of electromotive force (emf) The potential difference between two terminals when no current is flowing is called the emf (  )_ When current flows the voltage across the terminal drops because charge must actually flow within the source and there is some internal resistance (r) in the source

4 The terminal voltage (V ab ) of the source is thus the emf of the source minus the voltage lost to internal resistance V ab =  - Ir This is the voltage actually delivered by the source Battery ab

5 What voltage is actually delivered by a 12V battery (with internal resistance of.1  ) when a 10 A current flows? In new batteries the r is usually very low, but as the battery ages, the internal resistance increases so it delivers a lower and lower voltage

6 For the circuit below with a 9.0V battery (internal resistance.50  ) A) How much current is drawn from the battery? B) What is the terminal voltage of the battery? 9V 11 55 33 22
