Practical Circuits problem 9


Some resistors and a battery of electromotive force (e.m.f.) and negligible internal resistance are connected in series, as shown.




Which statement is correct?


  • The e.m.f. across each resistor equals the potential difference across the battery.


  • The potential difference across each resistor equals the e.m.f. of the battery.


  • The sum of the e.m.f.s across the resistors equals the potential difference across the battery.


  • The sum of the potential differences across the resistors equals the e.m.f. of the battery.
