Question
The potential difference between terminals of a cell in a closed electric circuit is ______.
Options
Terminal voltage
Electro motive force
Voltage drop
None of these
Solution
The potential difference between terminals of a cell in a closed electric circuit is terminal voltage.
Explanation:
The potential difference between the terminals of a cell in a closed electric circuit is called the terminal voltage, and it is less than the EMF of the cell because of the voltage drop caused by the cell's internal resistance.
