AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding when the terminal voltage of a cell becomes greater than or less than its electromotive force (emf), we can break it down into two parts: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding EMF and Terminal Voltage**: - The electromotive force (emf) of a cell is the maximum potential difference it can provide when no current is flowing. - The terminal voltage is the potential difference across the terminals of the cell when it is connected in a circuit and current is flowing. ...
