A circuit contains two cells one is primary and the other one is secondary. Both primary cell and secondary cell are rechargable.

Secondary cells can not be recharged.

Primary cells can not be recharged.

When the terminals of a cell are shorted potential difference across the terminals is zero or short circuited?

Derive the potential difference across the terminals of a cell when current is being drawn from it.

The energy conversion happening during charging of a battery is :

Assertion: When a battery is short-circuited, the terminal voltage is zero.
Reason: In the situation of a short-circuit, the current is zero

The terminal potential difference of a cell when short-circuited is (E=EMF of the cell)

Which one of the following is a characteristic of a primary cell?

What is the potential difference across the terminals of the cell in the given circuit?

A storage battery of emf with internal resistance is being charged by a supply using a series resistor of What is the terminal voltage of the battery during charging?

Assertion: In a simple battery circuit, the point at the lowest potential is the positive terminal of the battery.
Reason: The current flows towards the point of the lowest potential, as it does in such a circuit from the negative to the positive terminal.

Assertion: In a simple battery circuit the point at the lowest potential is positive terminal of the battery.
