MDCAT Physics MCQ #526

  1. Question 1

    Q1. What happens to terminal voltage of a battery when load resistance decreases?

    • A) Increases due to reduced current
    • B) Decreases due to higher internal drop
    • C) Remains constant with ideal battery
    • D) Fluctuates with temperature

    Answer: Decreases due to higher internal drop

    Explanation: Internal voltage drop rises with current. Option C ignores internal resistance.
