PS3 6 Electricity: Internal resistance in a battery WIS
A lab activity to determine the internal resistance of a battery - a D cell. Collecting data from a circuit where different resistors are placed in a circuit containing the D-cell. The voltage is measured through the D cell and the current is measured through the external circuit. Important formulas are using Ohm's law: V = IR and the emf of the cell = Ir +IR where r is the internal resistance of the D-cell and R is the added resistance in the external circuit.

    How long does it typically take to heat the water +20°C?

      Not very long with those alcohol burners--a minute or so (as with burning chips/other dry food--nothing allergic, please--to calculate the kJ in food)
