Pot Divid, Int Res - SL P2 N06 20

The document discusses an experiment involving current electricity, where a student investigates the relationship between current (I) and potential difference (V) using a variable resistor. It provides specific values for the battery's electromotive force (e.m.f.) and internal resistance, as well as instructions for connecting a battery to an electrical device rated at 0.8 V, 1.5 A. Additionally, it includes a scenario with heating elements and requires calculations for total power dissipated based on switch positions.
