Question

When the two terminals of a battery are connected directly with a wire then:

• A. more electrical energy is stored in the cell
• B. the chemical energy stored get used up very fast.
• C. no current flows in the wirc
• D. none of these.

Answer 1

The correct option is B the chemical energy stored get used up very fast.

Battery is the source of potential difference and wire is a conductor but can't be a perfect conductor. It has some resistance in which voltage gets dropped. As resistance of wire is much smaller so it will be large amount of current through battery and battery will get discharged much sooner.the chemical energy stored get used up very fast.
