The emf of a flashlight battery is roughly constant with time, but its internal resistance increases with age and use. What sort of meter should be used to test the freshness of a battery?
An ohmmeter is used to test the freshness of a battery.

In the circuit shown in Fig. E25.30, the 16.0-V battery is removed and reinserted with the opposite polarity, so that its negative terminal is now next to point a. Find (a) the current in the circuit (magnitude anddirection); (b) the terminal voltage Vbaof the 16.0-V battery; (c) the potential difference Vacof point awith respect to point c. (d) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).
If a “75-W” bulb (see Problem 25.35) is connected across a 220-V potential difference (as is used in Europe), how much power does it dissipate? Ignore the temperature dependence of the bulb’s resistance.
An electron at point in figure has a speed . Find (a) the magnetic field that will cause the electron to follow the semicircular path from to and (b) The time required for the electron to move from
In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.18,(a) What is the potential difference Vab between points a and b when the switch S is open and when S is closed? (b) For each resistor, calculate the current through the resistor with S open and with S closed. For each resistor, does the current increase or decrease when S is closed?
In the circuit of Fig. E25.30, the 5.0 Ω resistor is removed and replaced by a resistor of unknown resistance R. When this is done, an ideal voltmeter connected across the points band creads 1.9 V. Find (a) the current in the circuit and (b) the resistance R. (c) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).
