Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) emf is the potential difference between positive and negative terminals of a cell in a open circuit.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electromotive force (emf) is the maximum potential difference a cell can provide when no current is being drawn from it (open circuit). It depends only on the nature of the electrodes and electrolyte, not on external resistance. D) emf is the potential difference between…
