Question

Can the potential difference across a battery be greater than its emf?

✓

Answer

In general potential difference can be equal or less than the emf.
E.m.f can never exceed the potential difference.
If the emf of a battery is E Volt, the potential difference across a battery is given by,
V = E - I r where I is the current in the circuit and r is the internal resistance.
