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

Answer

  1. The difference between the emf of a cell and potential difference across the ends of the cell is called lost volts.

Explanation:

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.

Consider a sample of a pure beta-active material:
  1. All the beta particles emitted have the same energy.
  2. The beta particles originally exist inside the nucleus and are ejected at the time of beta decay.
  3. The antineutrino emitted in a beta decay has zero mass and hence zero momentum.
  4. The active nucleus changes to one of its isobars after the beta decay.
