Which of the following is NOT a variable in voltametric methods?
A. How the current is applied
B. How the potential is applied
C. The inclusion of convection
D. All the above
E. Type of working electrode
b. A piece of pencil lead is connected in series with an ammeter and a power supply.
The power supply is turned on. After a few minutes, although the potential difference
across the pencil lead does not change, the current in the circuit increases
significantly. Explain why the current increases.
c. Electric fields are caused by both point charges and by parallel plates with a potential
difference across them. Describe the difference between the electric field caused by a
point charge and the electric field between parallel plates. Your answer should include
a diagram of each type of field and reference to electric field strength.

The negative terminals of these sources are connected together. The first voltage source can have a range of value from 0-12, incrementable by 1.5 volts every turn of the rotary switch (i.e. 0 V, 1.5 V, 3 V, 4.5 V .... 12 V). The voltage of the second source is unknown. Using a luxmeter, the brightness of the lamp was measured for every increment of voltage of the first source. The following observations were recorded: a. 1.5 V produces a higher brightness than 3 V b. 0 V produces a higher brightness than 1.5 V c. 12 V produces higher brightness than 9 V d. 12 V produces equal brightness as 3 V What is the voltage of the second source?
