Internal resistance of a battery cell increases with:
- increase in concentration of electrolyte
- increase in distance between two electrodes
- increase in area of the plates inside the electrolyte
- increase in size of the electrodes
Correct answer: increase in distance between two electrodes
Solution
Internal resistance increases when the electrodes are farther apart because ions must travel a longer path through the electrolyte, causing more opposition to current. The other options generally reduce resistance by improving conductivity or increasing effective contact area.
