Question
In a battery there is an accumulation of electrons on one terminal of the battery and an accumulation of positive ions on the other terminal. This will result in a(n) ...Select one:a.increase in battery deteriorationb.Potential differencec.decrease in battery currentd.Weak Batterye.None of these optionsClear my choice
Solution
The correct answer is:
b. Potential difference
Explanation: In a battery, the accumulation of electrons on one terminal and positive ions on the other terminal creates a potential difference, also known as voltage. This potential difference is what drives the flow of electric current from one terminal to the other when the battery is connected in a circuit.
