MCQ
Choose the correct statement:
  • A
    The potential difference between the terminals of a cell in closed circuit is called $\text{EMF}$ of the cell.
  • B
    Electromotive force and accelerating force have the same dimensions.
  • C
    The internal resistance of an ideal cell is infinity.
  • The difference between the emf of a cell and potential difference across the ends of the cell is called lost volts.

Answer

Correct option: D.
The difference between the emf of a cell and potential difference across the ends of the cell is called lost volts.

When the battery is discharging, the terminals voltage of the battery is always $≤$ Emf of cell $[∵\text{r}>0]$
$\therefore$ There will always be a difference which is defined to be lost volt.
