A daniell cell is a system comprising a copper container, a solution of copper ions, a porous pot, a solution of zinc ions and a zinc rod. When the zinc rod and the copper container are connected by a wire, the zinc rod is oxidised to zinc 2+ ions, which releases two moles of electrons per mole of zinc decayed. These electrons flow round the wire to the positive electrode, the zinc container, where the copper ions in the solution are reduced to copper metal. If components eg. A light bulb, are placed within the circuit, the electron flow from the zinc to the copper electrode will power the bulb.
