CASE STUDY
29. The resistance offered by the electrolyte to the flow of current between its electrodes is called the
internal resistance of the cell. When we connect the terminals of a cell, a curent flows in the wire
from positive terminal of the cell towards the negative terminal. But inside the electrolyte of the
cell, the positive ions flow from the lower to the higher potential (or negative ions from the higher
to the lower potential) against the background of other ions and neutral atoms of the electrolyte.
Internal resistance depends on the nature and concentration of the electrolyte, separation and
common area of the electrodes dipped in the electrolyte and temperature of the electrolyte. The
greater the current, the greater the energy loss and the small is the terminal potential difference of
the battery. According to maximum power theorem this occurs when the internal resistance of the
source equals the resistance of the appliance.
