Choose the wrong statement:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Potential difference across the terminals of the cell in a closed circuit is
$ V = E - Ir $ when cell is being discharged
Terminal potential difference versus current graph for a cell is a straight line with a negative slope.
$ V = E + Ir $ when cell is being charged
In the presence of electrolyte, internal resistance, Ri is inversely proportional to temperature T. It is because, as we increase the temperature, more electrolyte dissociates and resistance decreases.
