प्रश्न
The emf of a cell is always greater than its terminal voltage. Why? Give reason.

उत्तर
The emf of a cell is greater than its terminal voltage because there is some potential drop across the cell due to its small internal resistance.

Why is potentiometer preferred over a voltmeter for comparison of emf. of cells?
The current in a conductor and the potential difference across its ends are measured by an ammeter and a voltmeter. The meters draw negligible currents. The ammeter is accurate but the voltmeter has a zero error (that is, it does not read zero when no potential difference is applied). Calculate the zero error if the readings for two different conditions are 1.75 A, 14.4 V and 2.75 A, 22.4 V.
Find the potential difference Va – Vb in the circuits shown in the figure.
If a constant potential difference is applied across a bulb, the current slightly decreases as time passes and then becomes constant. Explain.
The potential difference across the terminals of a battery of emf 12 V and internal resistance 2 Ω drops to 10 V when it is connected to a silver voltameter. Find the silver deposited at the cathode in half an hour. Atomic weight of silver is 107.9 g mol−1.
In the circuit in figure the potential difference across P and Q will be nearest to
