A) electrolyte used in the cell
B) electrodes of the cell
C) vessel of the cell
D) none of the above
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
When we connect the plates of a cell by a wire, an electric current flows in the wire from the positive plate of the cell towards the negative plate and in the electrolyte (inside the cell) it flows from the negative plate towards positive plate. The resistance offered by the electrolyte of the cell to the flow of current (ions) 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.
