Formulas

1. Electric Cell, EMF, Terminal PD, Internal Resistance

E = dW/dq

1 V = 1 J C^-1

V = dW'/dq

E = V + Ir

V = E - Ir

2. Combination of Cells

E_eff = nE ; r_eff = nr ; I = nE/(nr + R)

R1 = r/n ; I = nE/(r + nR)

I = mnE/(nr + mR)

R = nr/m

I_max = nE/2R

3. Kirchhoff's Laws

ΣI = 0

ΣIR = ΣE

4. Wheatstone Bridge and Metre Bridge

P/Q = R/S

S = R[(100 - l)/l]

I = 0 at balance
