Important Questions on Practical Circuits
A car battery has an e.m.f. of and an internal resistance of . The starter motor draws a current of .
(c) To what value will the power output of each headlamp decrease when the starter motor is in operation? (Assume that the resistance of the headlamp remains constant.)

Determine the range of for the circuit in Figure as the variable resistor is adjusted over its full range from to . (Assume the supply of e.m.f. has negligible internal resistance.)

What is the voltage across the resistor in Figure when the light intensity is 10 lux?

The circuit shown in Figure produces a decreasing output voltage when the light intensity increases. How can the circuit be altered to produce an increasing output voltage as the light intensity increases?
An LDR used as a sensor.



Design a circuit using the thermistor in Figure that uses a cell of and produces an output voltage of at . Explain whether the voltage output of your circuit increases or decreases as the temperature rises.
Variation of resistance with temperature.

To make a potentiometer, a driver cell of e.m.f. is connected across a length of resistance wire.
