Physics
The potential difference between terminals of a cell in a closed electric circuit is:
- terminal voltage
- electro motive force
- voltage drop
- none of these
Answer
terminal voltage
Reason — In a closed electric circuit (i.e., when current is drawn), the potential difference between the terminals of a cell is called the terminal voltage which is less than the electromotive force (emf) of the cell due to the voltage drop across the internal resistance of the cell.
