Statement I: Voltmeter always gives emf of a cell if it is connected across the terminals of a cell.
Statement II: Terminal potential of a cell is given by `V= E - ir`.

A

Statement `1` is true, Statement `2`is True , Statement `2` is correct explanation for Statement `1`.

B

Statement `1` is True, Statement `2` is True, Statement `2` is NOT a correct explantion for Statement `1`.

C

Statement `1` is True, Statement `2` is False.

D

Statement `1` is False, Satement `2` is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Voltmeter gives terminal potential `(V)`though it can give emf if internal resistance of the cell is zero.
