Alkali metals cannot be used in voltaic cells?
Lithium is an alkali metal and is used in the highest energy capacity cells made.
What is a voltaic battery?
n : battery consisting of a number of voltaic cells arranged inseries or parallel
What is the difference between a galvanic cell and a voltaic cell?
A voltaic battery is also known as a voltaic pile, which is a set (or pile) of galvanic cells linked together in series to create a larger voltage than could be generated by a single galvanic cell. Therefore a voltaic cell would simply be one element of the pile which is also one galvanic cell.
What is the scientific name for solar panels?
photovoltaic
Importance of alkali metals in the human body?
Alkali metals are very important in the human body. Primarily, the are used in the transmitting of nerve impulses. Atoms of these metals and others create a small voltage across the membranes of cells. This voltage is used to transmit information.

What are alkalized cells?
are a sub set of galvanic cells the used metals in the alkali metal group of the periodic tabel
What is a voltaic battery?

Is the best conductors are non-metals?
No. Metals are the best conductors because they have the least resistance. That's why they are used in batteries. Alkaline cells are named so because they use alkali metals in their compositions.
Is hydro power related to photo voltaic cells?
No, hydro power is electricity from water. Photo voltaic is electricity from sunlight.
What renewable energy source has PV cells?
PV probably stads for 'photo-voltaic'. If that is the case then the answer is solar power as photo-voltaic cells are a crucial component of solar panels.
What cell captures solar energy?
photo voltaic cells
What is the difference between galvanized and alkanized cells?
Alkalized cells use the alkali metal groups of the periodic table or the rare alkaline earth elements. Galvanized cells use any and all metals.
