Measure and record the e.m.f. of the accumulator provided. Connect a circuit as shown in the diagram. S is a standard resistor and R is a resistance box. With R = 0\(\Omega\), close the key K. Read and record the ammeter reading I. Evaluate 1\(^{-1}\). Repeat the procedure for R=1,2, 3, 4, and 5\(\Omega\). Tabulate your readings. Plot a graph of R on the vertical axis and 1\(^{-1}\) on the horizontal axis, starting both axis from the origin (0,0). Determine the slope s of the graph and find the intercept C on the vertical axis. State two precautions taken to ensure accurate results. (b)i. State two advantages of a lead-acid accumulator over a Leclanche cell. ii. A parallel combination of 3\(\Omega\) and 4\(\Omega\) resistors is connected in series with a resistor of 4\(\Omega\) and a battery of negligible internal resistance. Calculate the effective resistance in the circuit.
