Explain why potential difference is always less than the e.m.f. of a cell?

उत्तर
When a cell is in closed circuit, i.e., when current is drawn from it, then the potential difference between its electrodes is called the terminal voltage. It is always less than the e.m.f. because when charge flows in a circuit, some energy is spent in the flow of charge through the electrolyte of the cell.
