Question

explain why is the p.d. across the terminals of cell more in an open circuit and reduced in a closed circuit. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

When the electric cell is in a closed circuit the current flows through the circuit. ... So, the p.d. across the terminals in a closed circuit is less than the p.d. across the terminals in an open circuit by an amount equal to the potential drop across the internal resistance of the cell

Answer 2

Answer:

when it is in open circuit p.d. is more in cell because the charge is not going out of it

when it is in closed circuit the p.d. is goes across the circuit,so it may reduced

Explanation:

this is just general answer refer electric circuit chapter to know clearly
