Solution

Dear Student,
Answer to your question is given below:
The resistance offered by the electrolyte and electrodes of cell to flow of electric current is called the Internal Resistance of a Cell. The opposition offered by the electrolyte of the cell to the flow of electric current through it is called the internal resistance of the cell.
