Capacity of dry cells is_________?
Correct answer: A. more when it is supplying current for intermittent periods
- A. more when it is supplying current for intermittent periods
- B. more when it is supplying current for continuous periods
- C. unaffected by the type of discharge
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A dry cell generally delivers more effective capacity with intermittent discharge because rest periods allow electrochemical polarization to recover. Continuous discharge causes greater polarization and earlier voltage drop.
