Apparatus for Studying f.e.m. and Internal Battery and Battery Resistance
Product Code : JL-GLE-11259
The Apparatus for Studying f.e.m. and Internal Battery and Battery Resistance, SKU JL-GLE-11259, is a JaincoLab emf and internal resistance apparatus ("f.e.m." is the French abbreviation for electromotive force). Three batteries of 3-4.5 V in their boxes are connected through a rheostat and a switch, while a digital ammeter and voltmeter record current and terminal voltage. Plotting voltage against current gives the emf as the intercept and the internal resistance from the slope.

Experiments on emf and internal resistance
With the apparatus, students can:
- Measure terminal voltage at several currents set with the rheostat
- Find the emf and internal resistance from a voltage-current graph
- Compare the three batteries, singly or in series
- Show how terminal voltage falls as more current is drawn
Scope of supply and ordering
