(Missing question is: which of the following statements are true?)
a) <span>A battery does work on electric charges to bring them to a position of higher electric potential energy so that they can flow through a circuit to a lower potential energy --> TRUE
That's true: the battery does the work to move the charges to one end of its terminal thus creating a potential difference between the two terminals. Then, when it is connected to the circuit, charges start to flow to the terminal at lower potential (through the circuit)
b) </span><span>the potential difference between the terminals of a battery, when no current flows to an external circuit, is referred to as the terminal voltage --> FALSE
This is false: when no current flows, it is called e.m.f. (electromotive force)
c) </span><span>the internal resistance of a battery decreases with decreasing temperature
--> TRUE
In fact, the dependence of a resistance with the temperature is:
</span>![R=R_0[1+\alpha (T-T_0)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=R%3DR_0%5B1%2B%5Calpha%20%28T-T_0%29%5D)
with
being generally positive, therefore the value of the resistance is proportional to T, and when T decreases, R decreases as well.
<span>d) a battery is a device that produces electricity by transforming chemical energy into electrical energy --> TRUE
</span><span>That's true: a battery uses chemical reactions to create a potential difference between the two terminals that can be exploited to make charges flowing through a circuit.
