प्रश्न
A cell is used to send current to an external circuit.
- How does the voltage across its terminals compare with its e.m.f.?
- Under what condition is the e.m.f. of a cell equal to its terminal voltage?
What is e.m.f. of a cell? A cell is sending current in an external circuit. How does the terminal voltage compare with the e.m.f. of the cell?

उत्तर १
- Terminal voltage is less than the emf : Terminal Voltage < e.m.f.
- e.m.f. is equal to the terminal voltage when no current is drawn.
उत्तर २
When no current is drawn from a cell, i.e., when the cell is not connected to any external circuit (or is in open circuit), then the potential difference between its electrodes (or plates) is called its electromotive force, i.e., e.m.f. It is denoted by E. Emf of a cell is greater than terminal voltage.
