    QUESTION 2

    A learner sets up the circuit shown below to measure the internal


    resistance of a battery.

    She records the readings on the voltmeter and ammeter for different
    resistances of the rheostat. The graph below was obtained from the
    results.

    QUESTION 3

    In the circuit below, the battery has an emf of 12 V and internal


    resistance r. The three resistors and the bulb are connected as shown
    in the diagram. The resistance of the bulb is 2 Ω. Initially both switches
    S1 and S2 are open. Assume that all the connecting wires and an
    ammeter A have negligible resistances.
