What do cells and batteries do in a conductor?
ACreate extra free electrons
BReduce the metal's resistance
CMaintain a steady electric field
DRemove positive ions from it
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Maintain a steady electric field
By replenishing charge at the ends, a cell keeps a steady field in the conductor so current does not die away.
