Activity 1: Understanding Internal Resistance

Calculate the internal resistance of a battery given the following conditions. Use the formula V = E - Ir, where V is the terminal voltage, E is the electromotive force, I is the current, and r is the internal resistance. Show all your working.

1. A battery has an EMF of 12V and delivers a current of 2A to a load with a terminal voltage of 11V. Calculate the internal resistance. ______

Activity 2: Capacitance and Energy Storage

Calculate the energy stored in a capacitor using the formula E = 1/2 CV^2, where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage across the capacitor. Show all calculations.

1. A 10μF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 5V. Calculate the energy stored in the capacitor. ______
