Which of the following statements is true about electromotive force (emf) of a cell?
- A It depends on external resistance.
- B emf is the potential difference between positive and negative terminals of a cell in a closed circuit.
- C It has electrostatic origin.
- D emf is the potential difference between positive and negative terminals of a cell in a open circuit.
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…

Insulin consists of two short polypeptide chains : chain A and chain B, that are linked together by disulphide bridges. The first clinical gene therapy was given in 1990 to a 4-year old girl with adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency. This enzyme is crucial for the immune system to function. Recombinant DNA technology, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Enzyme Linked Immuno-sorbent Assay (ELISA) are some of the techniques that serve the purpose of early diagnosis of diseases. Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products can be created by the introduction of the portion of DNA (or genes) which codes for a particular product such as human protein (α-1-antitrypsin) used to treat emphysema. Biopiracy is the term used to refer to the use of bio-resources by multinational companies and other organisations without proper authorisation from the countries and people concerned without compensatory payment.
