Question

What are the factors affecting the internal resistance of a cell?

Answer 1

Answer:

Internal resistance is the amount of resistance offered to the electrolyte of a cell to the flow of current between its electrodes.

The internal resistance of cell depends on the following factors :-

• Nature of electrolyte.
• Concentration of the electrolyte.
• Distance between the electrolytes.
• With the increase in common area of the electrodes, the internal resistance decrease.
• Temperature is inversely proportional to internal resistance.
