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.
