Question

Why should we not join the two terminals of an electric cell directly by a wire?

• A. Because the chemicals get used up very fast
• B. Because the chemicals get used up very slowly
• C. Because the chemicals do not react
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Because the chemicals get used up very fast

We should never join the two terminals of a cell directly by a wire because by doing this, the chemicals present in the cell get used up very fast, the cell gets damaged quickly and hence stops working.
