  1. Address Question 3 - Determine the Emf of the battery.

    Question 3 asks to measure and record the electromotive force (Emf) of the battery with the circuit open. When the circuit is open, no current flows (I=0 AI = 0 \text{ A}). In this condition, the voltmeter measures the Emf (EE) of the battery, as the voltage drop due to internal resistance (IrIr) is zero.
    From the given data:

    • When Current (II) =0.00 A= 0.00 \text{ A}, Potential Difference (VV) =3.90 V= 3.90 \text{ V}. Therefore, the electromotive force (EE) of the battery is:
    E=3.90 VE = 3.90 \text{ V} E=3.90 V\boxed{E = 3.90 \text{ V}}
  2. Address Question 4 - Use the data to determine the internal resistance (rr).

    Question 4 instructs to record ammeter and voltmeter readings for different external resistances. The provided data is:

    ReadingCurrent II (A)Potential Difference VV (V)
    10.003.90
    20.193.69
    30.233.65
    40.273.61
    50.333.55

    The relationship between terminal potential difference (VV), Emf (EE), current (II), and internal resistance (rr) is given by:

    V=E−IrV = E - Ir

    To find the internal resistance (rr), we can rearrange the formula or use the gradient of a VV vs II graph. Since we already found EE, we can use any data point (I,V)(I, V) to calculate rr. Let's use the last data point (I=0.33 A,V=3.55 V)(I=0.33 \text{ A}, V=3.55 \text{ V}) and the calculated E=3.90 VE=3.90 \text{ V}.

    Substitute the values into the equation:

    3.55 V=3.90 V−(0.33 A)×r3.55 \text{ V} = 3.90 \text{ V} - (0.33 \text{ A}) \times r
  3. Calculate the internal resistance (rr).

    Rearrange the equation to solve for rr:

    (0.33 A)×r=3.90 V−3.55 V(0.33 \text{ A}) \times r = 3.90 \text{ V} - 3.55 \text{ V} (0.33 A)×r=0.35 V(0.33 \text{ A}) \times r = 0.35 \text{ V} r=0.35 V0.33 Ar = \frac{0.35 \text{ V}}{0.33 \text{ A}} r≈1.0606 Ωr \approx 1.0606 \text{ } \Omega

    Rounding to two decimal places, the internal resistance (rr) is:

    r=1.06 Ω\boxed{r = 1.06 \text{ } \Omega}
