Primary cells are used in calculators for long-service life the desirable quality of the cell is:

Correct answer: B. No self discharge rates

  • A. Low energy densities
  • B. No self discharge rates
  • C. High self-discharge rates
  • D. High energy densities

Explanation

A desirable quality of primary cells used in calculators is low or no self-discharge rates, meaning they retain their stored energy for extended periods when not in use. This allows the cell to have a long service life and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
