Terminal voltage Vi of the battery is greater than emf of the battery when:
Correct answer: A. Battery is charging
- A. Battery is charging
- B. Battery is discharging
- C. Battery is connected with R
- D. Battery is connected with voltmeter
Explanation
When a battery is charging, it requires a higher external voltage to overcome its emf and internal resistance. This results in a terminal voltage (V) greater than the emf (E) of the battery, as described by the equation V = E + Ir. Option A is correct because it correctly identifies the condition under which the terminal voltage exceeds the emf. Options B, C, and D describe scenarios where the terminal voltage is either equal to or less than the emf due to the nature of discharging or when there is no current flow.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
