What does a wet cell car battery contain?
A car battery is a rechargeable, or secondary, wet cell battery that contains lead, lead oxide, plates and an electrolyte solution that contains a mixture of water and acid.
What can happen to your cell phone if the battery is placed upside down?
Nothing will happen because the connector plates on the battery aren't touching the prongs on the phone.
What does acid have to do with a wet cell battery?
The sulfuric acid in an automotive battery (the most common form of wet cell), is an electrolyte. As the battery discharges, the sulfuric acid reacts with the lead and lead oxide plates to form lead sulfate. When the battery is charging, the reaction is reversed.
What kind of a battery produces an electrical current by the action of 2 plates of different metals in an electrolyte?
The galvanic cell or voltaic cell. Same thing.
What is th effect of Replacing a battery with one with fewer plates?
The battery voltage will be less. Batteries are arrangements of cells. The voltage of each cell is fixed depending on chemistry. Less plates means fewer cells, so the voltage produced by the battery in total will be less.
Does letting the battery go dead ruin the battery at all?
Yes... unless it is a high quality gel battery (and then, yes). The lead from the plates drops off. Without seed lead on the plates, recharging the battery does not reform the lead on the plates. Thus, every time one of the many plates in the battery is barren of lead, the battery will not fully charge that plate. If it happens frequently enough, all the plates will not accrue lead and thus will not hold a charge.
What is cell plates?
cell plates form to produce a cell wall
What is a cell plates?
cell plates form to produce a cell wall
What do the paste like mixture of a battery do?
It acts as a medium to keep the positive and negative plates of the battery separate, but also allows electrons to flow freely.
When is the rigth time to add water to a battery is?
As soon as the water level drops below the top edge of the plates. The plates should always be completely under the surface of the liquid in the cell.
Does Battery come from chemicals?
Yes First we have to understand what a battery is made from. A battery consists of a number of separate cells. Each cell contains two different plates. The plates are held fixed and separated from each other. They are surrounded ("wetted" or "soaked") by a special chemical fluid or paste which conducts electricity. One plate is called the "positive" ("+ve"), the other is called the "negative" ("-ve") . Every cell works because the plates react with the special chemical in such a way that an electrical current can be drawn off from the two terminals of the cell. As current is drawn from the cell its plates - and the special chemical in which the plates are immersed - all gradually change their chemical composition. The result is that, as current is drawn off, the charge stored in the cell is reduced. Another result is that the voltage given out by the cell drops. If nothing is done to replace the charge that has been taken from the cell then, eventually, a point is reached when no more charge can be taken out. That happens because the chemical composition of the plates and the special fluid can change no further. The cell is then called "flat" or "dead".
Why one more negative plate than positive in lead acid battery?
The number of negative plates in a cell is always more than one of number of positive plates so that end plates at both sides of the group remain negative.
