Potential difference: p.d is the e.m.f of a cell (or circuit) when it is delivering current to an external circuit.
V = E-v; V= terminal p.d supplied into R and v is the lost volt.

REFERENCE: NEW SCHOOL PHYSICS FOR SS by ANYAKOHA, AFP 2006.
CONTENT: DEFECTS OF SIMPLE CELLS

This is the release of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode. Thereby insulating the electrodes. This causes back e.m.f. polarization can be minimized by brushing the electrodes and also using depolarizers e.g. manganese dioxide.
2. Local Action:
Local action occurs due to improve zinc useage as electrodes. It can be minimized or corrected by cleaning zinc with H2SO4 and then rubbing or amalgamating with mercury.

BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES: BY THE END OF THE LESSON, THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
i. Solve simple problems involving cells and e.m.f of cell
ii. Distinguish between two points on a circuit.
REFERENCE: NEW SCHOOL PHYSICS FOR SS by ANYAKOHA, AFP 2006.
CONTENT: E.M.F OF A CELL
The e.m.f of a cell is the p.d across the terminals of a cell when it is in an open circuit; i.e. not supplying current to an external circuit.
E supplies current I to external R. therefore the p.d across R is called terminal p.d V while v is the p.d across internal resistance "r".
Therefore E= V + r
E = IR + Ir
E= I (R +r)
Therefore I= E
R + r
Where Ir is called lost volts.
Ex.
If the terminal p.d of a battery is 15v and the external resistance of 23Ω is connected and when the lost volt is 1.65v. Find the e.m.f and the internal of the cell.
Solution:
When p.d = 15v, R = 23Ω
Also p.d = 1.65v, R = 48Ω
From I = E, but E = V + v
R + r
(i) E.m.f is given by E = 15 + 1.65
E = 16.65V
(ii) R =?
Since terminal p.d across external resistor = 15V
Therefore: using Ohm's Law,
V = IR
Therefore: I = V = I = 15 = 0.652A
R 23
Using E = I (R + r)
Or E = I (R +r) gives
16.65 = 0.652 (23 + r)
Therefore: r = 16.65 - (0.652 x 23)
0.652
R = 1.654; r = 2.54Ω

REFERENCE: NEW SCHOOL PHYSICS FOR SS by ANYAKOHA, AFP 2006.
CONTENT: E.M.F OF A CELL
The e.m.f of a cell is the p.d across the terminals of a cell when it is in an open circuit; i.e. not supplying current to an external circuit.
E supplies current I to external R. therefore the p.d across R is called terminal p.d V while v is the p.d across internal resistance "r".
Therefore E= V + r
E = IR + Ir
E= I (R +r)
Therefore I= E
R + r
Where Ir is called lost volts.
Ex.
If the terminal p.d of a battery is 15v and the external resistance of 23Ω is connected and when the lost volt is 1.65v. Find the e.m.f and the internal of the cell.
Solution:
When p.d = 15v, R = 23Ω
Also p.d = 1.65v, R = 48Ω
From I = E, but E = V + v
R + r
(i) E.m.f is given by E = 15 + 1.65
E = 16.65V
(ii) R =?
Since terminal p.d across external resistor = 15V
Therefore: using Ohm's Law,
V = IR
Therefore: I = V = I = 15 = 0.652A
R 23
Using E = I (R + r)
Or E = I (R +r) gives
16.65 = 0.652 (23 + r)
Therefore: r = 16.65 - (0.652 x 23)
0.652
R = 1.654; r = 2.54Ω
0.652
EVALUATION:
Distinguish between e.m.f of a cell and terminal p.d of that cell.

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not require a material medium for their propagation. They arise from the vibration of electric and magnetic field. The combination of electric and magnetic field waves is called ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES.
Mechanical waves are waves that require a material medium for their propagation E.m travel at a sped less than that of light.
Mechanical waves may be transverse or longitudinal, but e.m is always transverse.
Equation:
V = f⋋ or
C= f⋋
e.g. estimate the wavelength of a radio station (Ray power) whose frequency is transmission is 100.5MHZ. [Take c = 3 x 108m/s]
EVALUATION:
Distinguish between mechanical and electromagnetic waves.
ASSIGNMENT:
List out 5 uses of electromagnetic waves.
SUB-TOPIC: USES OF E.M WAVE
BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES: BY THE END OF THE LESSON, THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
i. List out some types of radiation
ii. Outline the various uses of electromagnetic waves.

CONTENT: USES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
Uses of e.m waves are numerous since there are different kinds. Hence the use of any one type is paramount important for the uses of electromagnetic waves.
1. Gamma waves: they are waves of ⋋10-8cm. with very great penetration. About x 10 of x-rays. They are used in medical field to sterilize supplies. They are also used to treat cancer and tumours.
2. Radio and TV waves: these are e.m waves with ⋋ - 1mm a few km. they are used in radio and television transmissions
- Radar detection around 1cm(⋋)
3. X-rays: (⋋ between 10-10 - 10-7cm). since they are blocked/stopped by some solids such as isomers and metals, they are equally used in hospitals to make pictures of bones and radiographs of internal body organs.
- Used in detecting flaws in metal industry.
- Used to study couptal structures.
- In air ports used as scanners to detect
EVALUATION:
List 5 uses of e-m waves.
BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES: BY THE END OF THE LESSON, THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
i. Distinguish between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves.
ii. Compare and contrast in terms of frequency, wavelength, six radiations in electromagnetic spectrum.
iii. State some uses of electromagnetic waves.
iv. Apply the formula v= f⋋ to solve simple problems relating to electromagnetic waves.
