11. The emf of a Cell and Terminal Voltage: when unit positive charge is driven form negative terminal
to the positive terminal due to non-elecrical forces, the energy gained by the charge (or work done by
the non-electrical forces) is called an emf ( ) of a battery..
The net potential difference between the two terminals of a battery is called the terminal voltage (V).
The terminal voltage of a battery is, V Ir
12. Secondary Cell: The cell which can be restored to original condition by reversing chemical processes
(i.e. by recharging) are called secondary cells. e. g. lead accumulator.
13. Charging: If the secondary cell is connected to some other external d.c. source of larger emf, current
may enter the cell through the positive terminal and leave it at the negative terminal. The electrical energy
is then converted into chemical energy. This is called charging of the cell.
