  3. emf • Electromotive force (emf) refers to the potential difference between the terminals of a source when no current flows out. Its symbol is .

  4. Terminal voltage • Terminal voltage is the potential difference between the terminals of a source when current flows, and is calculated as •  is the emf • r is the internal resistance of the battery

  5. Example #1 • A 65-Ω resistor is connected to the terminals of a battery whose emf is 12V and whose internal resistance is 0.5Ω. Calculate (a) the current in the circuit, (b) the terminal voltage of the battery, and (c) the power dissipated in the resistor R and in the battery's internal resistance r.

  6. Example #1—continued (a) (b) (c)

  7. Resistors in series • The equivalent resistance for resistors in series is

  8. Resistors in parallel • The equivalent resistance for resistors in parallel is

  10. Series/parallel resistors • Disc 17, #23 • Disc 17, #24

  11. Example #2 • Two 100Ω resistors are connected (a) in parallel, and (b) in series, to a 24V battery. What is the current through each resistor and what is the equivalent resistance of each circuit?

  12. Example #2—continued (a)

  13. Example #2—continued (b)

  14. Kirchhoff’s rules • The junction rule: at any junction point, the sum of all currents entering the junction must equal the sum of all currents leaving the junction. It is based on the conservation of electric charge. • The loop rule: the sum of the changes in potential around any closed path of a circuit must be zero. It is based on the conservation of energy.

  15. Example #3 • Calculate the currents I1, I2, and I3.
