Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

If E is the emf of the battery, r the internal resistance, i the current drawn and V the PD across the plates of battery, then

Case I When the direction of current in the battery is from –ve to +ve or outside +ve to –ve, then

(during discharging)

V<E

Case II When the direction of current in the battery is form +ve to –ve or outside –ve to +ve, then

              (during discharging)

V>E

Case III When zero current, then
