42.What do we call the resistance offered by the electrolyte and electrodes when the current flows? [A] External resistance [B] Internal resistance [C] Electrolytic power [D] Electrode Potential Show Answer
Detailed Solution. Denoted by r, the internal resistance is the resistance offered by the electrolyte of a cell when current flows through it. The resistance offered by a wire of unit length and unit area of cross-section is called resistivity or specific resistance (r). Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity.
