Question

Why should we not connect the terminals of the cell directly?​

Answer 1

• The electric cell produces electricity from the chemicals stored inside it. ... We should never join the two terminals of a cell directly by a wire because if we join the two terminals of a cell directly by wire only, then the chemicals present in the cell get used up very fast, the cell gets damaged quickly.
