Question
On increasing the current drawn from a cell, the net potential difference across its terminals is lowered, why?
✓
Answer
The terminal potential difference V = E - Ir.
Clearly if I is increased, the terminal potential difference falls.
Clearly if I is increased, the terminal potential difference falls.
