27. The emf of a battery is 12 volts. When the battery delivers a steady current of 0.5 ampere to a load, the potential difference between the terminals of the battery is 10 volts. What terminal voltage would you expect if the battery were connected to a load with less resistance? (A) 12 V (B) 10 V (C) Between 10 and 12 V (D) Less than 10 V
