Question

Name two factors on which the internal resistance of a cell depends.
A. Separation between plates
B. Emf of cell
C. Area of plates
D. External resistance

Answer 1

According to the question, firstly we will discuss why resistance occurs in the cell. And on what basis internal resistance occurs in the cell and we will also discuss the factors that affect the internal resistance of the cell. And also try to understand what we mean by internal resistance of the cell.

Complete answer:
Internal resistance refers to the resistance to the flow of current offered by the cells and batteries themselves bringing about the age of warmth. Internal resistance is measured in Ohms.
Factors affect the internal resistance of the cell:-
Larger the separation between the electrodes of the cell, more the length of the electrolyte through which current needs to stream and therefore a higher estimation of interior resistance.Greater the conductivity of the electrolyte, lesser is the internal resistance of the cell. That is, internal resistance depends on the nature of the electrolyte.

The internal resistance of a cell is inversely proportional to the common area of the electrodes dipping in the electrolyte.The internal resistance of a cell depends on the nature of the electrodes.Internal resistance of the cell means, the resistance occurs between the electrodes or plates of the cell that causes separation between the plates. And, the area of plates is also a major cause of the internal resistance of the cell. Area of Plates or electrodes is directly proportional to the internal resistance of the cell.

Note: According to the cell theory, there are some exceptions such that there is a debate as to whether or not viruses should be considered to be alive. The discussion results from the way that infections can't replicate all alone. They should attack a host cell and use the host's hereditary material to repeat.
