One end of the cell reacts (through an oxidation reaction) to lose an electron, which goes through the circuit. The other end accepts the electrons and reacts as well, through a reduction reaction. So one end keeps losing electrons as it chemically reacts and the other keeps gaining. (: UR WELCOME DUMB PEOPLE (: JK BUT STILL UR WELCOME

Difference between active and passive components?

ACTIVE COMPONENTS The components which produce the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as active components. Example:transistors etc,. PASSIVE COMPONENTS The components which stores the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as passive components. example:inductors,resistors,capacitors etc,.

What are Electrochemical fuel cells?

Lots of things have an electrochemical cell in them. That electrochemical cell is a battery. You cell phone has at least two of them. There is a small one that "keeps alive" memory if you remove the primary battery. A flashlight has a cell or cells in it. We could go on all day. Motor vehicles have a battery, which is a collection of electrochemical cells. Note that a battery could be composed of a single cell, like the "AAA", "AA", "C" and "D" cells. We call them batteries, but they are a single electrochemical cell. A 9-volt battery, on the other hand, has several cells in it stacked in series so their voltages add. That car battery we mentioned is 6 electrochemical cells "long" so that the voltages will sum to the 12 volts (which is actually a bit over 13 volts).
