Question

Why should we not join the wires connected to the two terminals of the electric cell?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: An electric cell produces electricity from chemicals stored inside it. ... We should never join the wires with two terminals of the electric cell. If we do so, the chemicals in the electric cell get used up very fast and the cell stops working

Answer 2

We should never join the two terminals of an electric cell directly by wires because the chemicals present in the cell get used up very quickly and the cell stops producing electricity. Many people think that the cell might explode if we connect/join the two terminals of electric cell directly, however, this is not true. The main reason is that the chemicals get used up within minutes and the cell can no longer be used or recharged as it is a dry cell.

Hope the above answer helps.
