What is the internal resistance of a cell due to?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Internal resistance of a cell depends upon, (i) the nature, concentrartion and temperature of electrolyte, (ii) the nature of electrodes, (iii) the distnace between the electrodes and (iv) area of the electrodes immersed in the electrolyte.
