Question
Solution
An electric cell produces electricity from the chemicals stored inside it. When the chemicals in the electric cell are used up, the electric cell stops producing electricity. It has two
terminaIs - positive and negative.
When two or mo re cells are connected together such that the positive terminaI of one cell is connected to the negative terminal of the next cell; such a combination of two or more cells is called a battery. A battery is thus a combination of two or more cells.

The coil of an electric bulb takes 40 watts to start glowing. If more than 40 W are supplied, 60% of the extra power is converted into light and the remaining into heat. The bulb consumes 100 W at 220 V. Find the percentage drop in the light intensity at a point if the supply voltage changes from 220 V to 200 V.
