The internal resistance of a cell is the resistance of
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
When we connect the plates of a cell bya wire, an electric current flows in the electrolyte (inside the cell) from the negative plate towards positive plate. The resistance offered by the electorlyte of the cell to the flow of current (irons) through it is called the internal resistance of the cell. Because of this resistance a part of the energy given by the cell is dissipated as heat inside the cell itself.
