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.

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.
