2. Since the voltmeter has high resistance, current will not pass through the voltmeter.
Required p.d. = p.d. across 100  = 6 V (Each 100  will take up half of the battery’s voltage.)
V2
3. P 
, so if resistance is doubled, power is halved.
R
4. Total emf is 3V, total internal resistance is 3r.
5. For Mary, the voltmeter is measuring the cell’s emf. But Peter’s voltmeter only measures the p.d.
across the resistor. So Mary’s voltmeter reading is higher.
In circuit P, the ammeter reads the total current and is therefore larger than that in circuit M. In
circuit Q, the voltmeter reads the total p.d. (battery’s emf) and is so larger than the p.d. across R only
in circuit P.

13. For each pulse, charge flow = Q = It = 16 x 10-3 x 0.5 x 10-3 = 8 x 10-6 C
In each minute, the total charge delivered = 100 x 8 x 10-6 = 8 x 10-4 C

Current I = P/V = 24/6 = 4A
R = V/I = 6/4 = 1.5 
