Study Notes

Internal Resistance of a Cell

  • The SI unit of internal resistance is ohms (Ω).
  • Internal resistance of a cell decreases with an increase in the distance between the electrodes.

Effect of Electrode Surface Area

  • The internal resistance of a cell decreases with an increase in the facing surface area of the electrodes in electrolyte.

Formula for Internal Resistance

  • The formula for calculating the internal resistance of a cell is r = (E - V) / I, where 'V' represents the potential difference across the cell.

Experiment Guidelines

  • It is important to ensure the e.m.f. of the battery is greater than that of the cell to ensure accurate measurements.
  • To vary the internal resistance with distance of separation, one can move the electrodes closer together or farther apart.
  • Repeating steps 7 to 10 with different electrode separations helps to study the variation of internal resistance with distance.
  • Removing the plugs of keys K1 and K2 before proceeding is important to ensure accurate measurements.

Factors Affecting Internal Resistance

  • Internal resistance of a cell decreases with an increase in the temperature of the electrolyte.
  • Internal resistance of a cell decreases with an increase in the facing surface area of the electrodes in electrolyte.
  • The internal resistance of a cell does not depend on the material of the electrodes.

Measurement Techniques

  • Measuring the balancing length accurately using a set square is crucial to ensure accurate internal resistance measurements.
  • Increasing the temperature of the electrolyte can affect the accuracy of measuring internal resistance.
