The emf of a cell equals the potential difference between its terminals under which condition?
AVery large current flowing
BThe cell is short-circuited
CCell is fully discharged
DNo current is flowing
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. No current is flowing
With no current there is no drop across the internal resistance, so the terminal voltage equals the emf.
