Solution

The correct option is A True
We use a battery in a car, not a cell. Since the maximum voltage that a cell can provide is 1.5 volts. But for practical purposes, we need atleast 9 volts or 12 volts for any device to operate. Therefore in order to obtain appropriate voltage we use an array of cells connected in series with each other, called battery.

Electricity and magnetism are said to be inter-related to each other. A current carrying conductor has a magnetic field around it. So, when a compass is brought near to it, we can observe a deflection in the compass. Similarly, a battery is the source of the electric current. What will be the deflection, when we bring a compass near a 3 V cell (battery)?
