2(a) The e.m.f. is defined as the non-electrical energy converted to electrical energy per unit charge driven through the source. (b) The resistance of a sample is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. The proportionality constant is called the resistivity. It is a property of the material and is dependent on temperature. (c)(i) Some of the energy generated by the source will be dissipated within the source itself. This can be represented by a series resistor within the source. / This opposition to the flow of current within the source is called internal resistance. (ii) 1.6 V (iii)
