Assertion: E.m.f. and potential difference are same for cell.
Reason: Both gives the difference in electrode potential under any condition.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Both assertion and reason are false. Potential difference is the difference between the electrode potential of the two electrodes of the cell when cell is under operation while e.m.f. is the potential difference generated by a cell when there is zero electron flow
