The unit requires connection to a 6V DC source of EMF, a voltmeter and an ammeter.
This ‘Lost Volts’ apparatus provides a convenient solution for experimentally determining the internal resistance and the EMF of a cell.
The switch reduces the possibility of unnecessary drain of the battery and excessive heat being generated in the resistors.
The unit houses seven appropriately rated resistors and a push switch and is designed to remove any complications from wiring separate resistors.
