C10 Flashcards
1
Q
Internal Resistance
A
The resistance of a source of emf (e.g. cell, battery) due to its construction which causes a loss in energy / voltage as the charge passes through the source
2
Q
Kirchhoffs second low
A
in any circuit, the sum of electromotive forces is equal to the sum of pds around a closed loop
3
Q
Potential Divider circuit
A
An electrical circuit designed to divide the pd across two OR more components, often two resistors, in order to produce a specific output
