  1. A The internal resistance of dry cell is much lower than the common electrolytic cell
  2. B The internal resistance of dry cell is much higher than the common electrolytic cell.
  3. C The maximum current that can be drawn from a cell is lower than E/r where E is the emf and r is the internal resistance. E
  4. D The electrolyte through which a current flows has a finite resistance, called the internal resistance
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The internal resistance of dry cell is much lower than the common electrolytic cell

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The internal resistance of dry cells (e.g., Leclanché cells) is typically higher than that of common electrolytic cells (e.g., lead-acid cells, which are often referred to as wet cells) due to their paste electrolyte and polarization effects. Therefore, the statement "The…
