The resistance present between the two electrodes of the cell is due to
Correct answer: B. An electrolyte present between them
- A. Connecting wires
- B. An electrolyte present between them
- C. Electrodes themselves
- D. None of these
Explanation
The resistance present between the two electrodes of a cell is primarily due to the electrolyte present between them. In a cell, chemical reactions occur at the electrodes, and ions move through the electrolyte, leading to the flow of current. The resistance offered by the electrolyte to the movement of ions contributes significantly to the overall internal resistance of the cell. Therefore, option B) "An electrolyte present between them" is the correct answer.

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.
