प्रश्न
Explain why the p.d across the terminals of a cell is more in an open circuit and reduced in a closed circuit.
उत्तर
There is no drain on the cell's current when the circuit is open. Thus, the p.d. gradually evolved between the cell's electrodes due to chemical reactions within the cell. However, if a cell's current is removed, the voltage drops because the process of transferring a unit charge around the circuit formed by the cell's terminals requires energy. Therefore, in an open circuit, the potential difference across the cell's terminals is greater than in a closed circuit.
