A-LevelPhysicsD.C. circuitsMay/June 2020Paper 1 Q381 Mark
In the circuit shown, X is a variable resistor whose resistance can be changed from 5.0 Ω to 500 Ω. The electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the battery is 12.0 V. It has negligible internal resistance. [Figure 38.1] What is the maximum range of values of potential difference across the output?
A1.3 V to 11.1 V
B1.3 V to 12.0 V
C1.5 V to 11.1 V
D1.5 V to 12.0 V
