In a battery, EMF is the work done per unit charge:

Answer: By all non-electrostatic forces inside the battery.

  • A Mainly in moving charge through the external circuit
  • B Mainly in moving charge through the internal circuit alone
  • C By all non-electrostatic forces inside the battery
  • D By mainly electrostatic forces between charges in the circuit

Correct answer: C. By all non-electrostatic forces inside the battery

Explanation: EMF = work done per unit charge by non-electrostatic (chemical) forces within the battery to maintain current flow.

In series, the same current flows through both resistors; in parallel, the current splits between branches and the voltage across each resistor is the same.

Concept context

Ohm's law, resistors, Kirchhoff's laws, Wheatstone bridge, and cells.
