NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about current and cells in electric circuits is correct?

A

Current is defined as the limit of the charge flowing across a section of a conductor over time as time approaches zero.

B

The maximum current from a cell occurs when the resistance is at its maximum.

C

A higher internal resistance in a cell allows for greater maximum current to be drawn.

D

Cells in series always provide a lower equivalent emf than the individual cells combined.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Statement A correctly defines current as the limit of charge over time. Statement B is incorrect because maximum current occurs at zero resistance. Statement C is wrong as higher internal resistance decreases the maximum current. Statement D misrepresents the behavior of cells in series, which provide a higher emf.
