Patients suffering from chronic diseases often have low appetite which may it difficult for them to eat the quantity of food that their body systems need, the body has to make up for this lack by using the storage of fat they already have in their bodies. This leads to emaciated look and greatly reduced body weight.

Which of the following is maintained across the terminals of a battery?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Option D, both A and B

Explanation:

The potential difference is created across a battery (between its two terminal –one positive and the other one negative) when work is done to move a charge from one point to another. This potential difference is measured in volts. 1 volt is the potential difference between two points when one joule of potential energy is spent to move a charge of one coulomb from one point to the other.  

Voltage drop across a circuit is the amount of electric current lost due to resistance/ impedance with in the cables of the circuit.  

Hence, both potential difference and voltage drop occurs across the circuit,  

Option D is correct.
