MCQ
Identify the correct statement from the following about discharging of a cell.
  • A
    The direction of current in the cell is from positive to negative terminal.
  • B
    Terminal potential difference is greater than emf of the cell.
  • C
    Terminal potential difference is lesser than emf of the cell.
  • D
    The current increases and decreases frequently.
✓

Answer

  1. Terminal potential difference is lesser than emf of the cell.

Explanation:

During discharging of a cell terminal potential difference, the terminal potential difference is lesser than the emf of the cell. The direction of current inside the cell is from negative terminal to positive terminal.
