Question
On increasing the current drawn from a cell, the net potential difference across its terminals is lowered, why?
✓
Answer
The terminal potential difference V = E - Ir.
Clearly if I is increased, the terminal potential difference falls.
Clearly if I is increased, the terminal potential difference falls.

Two metal strips, each of length l, are clamped parallel to each other on a horizontal floor with a separation b between them. A wire of mass m lies on them perpendicularly, as shown in A vertically-upward magnetic field of strength B exists in the space. The metal strips are smooth but the coefficient of friction between the wire and the floor is $\mu.$ A current i is established when the switch S is closed at the instant t = 0. Discuss the motion of the wire after the switch is closed. How far away from the strips will the wire reach?

The yield point of a typical solid is about 1%. Suppose you are lying horizontally and two persons are pulling your hands and two person are pulling your legs along your own length. How much will be the increase in your length if the strain is 1%? Do you think your yield point is 1% or, much less than that?
