Which is not different between primary and secondary cell ?

  1. Reversibility of chemical reaction

  2. Rechargability of cell

  3. Supply of energy to external circuit

  4. Strength of current


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Both primary and secondary cells serve the purpose of supplying energy to external circuit. Chemical reactions are reversible and cell is rechargeable for only secondary cells.  Strength of current in primary cell is low and in secondary cell can be high or low.

What is advantage of primary cell over secondary cell

  1. Its internal resistance is low

  2. It is light and cheap

  3. It can provide low/high currents

  4. It is rechargable


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Primary cells are light and cheap. All other options apply to secondary cell.

Primary cells are

  1. Recyclable

  2. Use and throw

  3. Rechargable

  4. Retractable


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Primary cells are use and throw. They are not recyclable since structure is carefully packed. They are not rechargable since chemical reactions involved are not recyclable. 

Primary cells have _____ resistance and secondary cells have ______ resistance

  1. Low , High

  2. High, Low

  3. Low , Low

  4. High , High


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Primary cells have high internal resistance while secondary cells have low internal resistance.

Secondary cells are called

  1. Condensors

  2. Accumulators

  3. Distributors

  4. Assimilators


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Secondary cells are also called accumulators.

Which one of the following primary cells has emf 1.08 volts and which remains fairly constant?

  1. Daniel cell

  2. Simple voltaic cell

  3. Leclanche cell

  4. Dry cell


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Dry cell have a typical voltage of around 1.1 Volts.They become inadequate for use with time because their internal resistance increases many fold.

The primary cell which is used in daily life is-

  1. Leclanche cell

  2. Dry cell

  3. Daniel cell

  4. Simple voltaic cell


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Commonly used cell is dry cell.

Dry-cell is essentially comprised of a metal electrode or graphite rod {elemental carbon} surrounded by a moist electrolyte paste enclosed in a metal cylinder. in most common type of dry cell battery the cathode u=is composed of a form of elemental carbon called graphite.

The current capacity of the charged secondary cell does not depend on ?

  1. rate of charging

  2. rate of discharging

  3. temperature

  4. amount of active material


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The current capacity of the charged secondary cell does not depend on temperature. so if the temperature is increased or decreased there is no any change in current capacity of any secondary cell, hence option C is correct.

Cell which cannot be charged is 

  1. Primary cell

  2. Secondary cell

  3. Electrochemical cell 

  4. None of the above 


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A primary cell cannot be charged whereas secondary and electrochemical cell can be recharged.charging of a cell depends upon cell reaction is either reversible or irreversible . when reaction is irreversible then cell can not be charge after one time discharge.

When two batteries are connected in series the voltage in the circuit will _____________ .

  1. increase

  2. decrease

  3. remains same

  4. first decrease than increase


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a series connection the positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery.

And the Equivalent voltage of the battery is the sum of the voltage of individual cell.So, when two batteries are connected in series the voltage in the circuit will increases.
Therefore, A is correct option.

Choose the wrong option

  1. A cell is a single unit which converts chemical energy to electrical energy to deliver a voltage while a battery is composed of a number of cells in series to get increased voltage

  2. A Battery is a single unit which converts chemical energy to electrical energy to deliver a voltage while a cell is composed of a number of batteries in series to get increased voltage

  3. In the combination of cells, cells are connected in such a way that negative terminal of a cell is connected to positive terminal of the next cell

  4. In the combination of cells, cells are connected in such a way that negative terminal of a cell is connected to negative terminal of the next cell


Correct Option: B,D
Explanation:

Both cell and battery store the chemical energy and then transforms the stored chemical energy to electrical energy. But cell is a single unit with positive and negative terminal whereas battery is a combination of cells connected end to end i.e. positive  to negative terminal.

While making a battery ___________  of a cell is connected to ________ of other cell.

  1. negative terminal , negative terminal

  2. positive terminal , negative terminal

  3. positive terminal , positive terminal

  4. neutral terminal ,negative terminal


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

While making a battery, negative end of battery is connected to positive terminal of other cell and so on.


Answer-(B)

When the two terminals of a battery are connected directly with a wire then:

  1. More electrical energy is stored in the cell

  2. The chemicals get used up very fast

  3. No current flows in the wire

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
When the two terminals of a battery are connected directly with a wire there will be a low resistance path for the current to flow. The wire will get heated a little bit (depends on the diameter of the wire less the diameter more heat) and the battery will be quickly discharged. During depletion, it may become very hot, emit gasses, and possibly explode. The shorting wires will draw heavy current that may melt the wire or even cause them to soften and break.

Many devices such as.............. use batteries-

  1. Torches

  2. Transistors, toys

  3. T.V. remote controls

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Many devices such as----------------use battery 

Torches 
Transistors, toys 
T.V remote controls
All of these use batteries.
