How the parts of a cell interact to produce a current?

In a electrochemical cell or a battery there are two electrodes and an electrolyte. Chemical reaction occurs between the electrodes and the electrolyte which causes one of the electrodes to be positively charged and the next one to be negatively charged. The differences between the two electrodes creates voltage. When the battery is now connected to a circuit it makes a current.


What is the common term for an electrochemical cell in which terminals are connected to electrodes immersed in a solution of electrolytes?

The common term for an electrochemical cell in which terminals are connected to electrodes immersed in a solution of electrolytes is a "battery." In a battery, chemical reactions at the electrodes produce an electric current that can be used to power devices.


Does a cell with copper and zinc electrodes in an acid electrolyte produce voltages?

Yes, a cell with copper and zinc electrodes in an acid electrolyte will produce voltage because of the difference in their reduction potentials. The zinc will undergo oxidation at the anode, releasing electrons and creating a potential difference with the copper cathode where reduction occurs. This potential difference between the two electrodes generates an electric current.

In a cell what produces the charges that provide current?

Charges that provide current in a cell are produced by the chemical reactions that occur between the electrolytes and electrodes within the cell. These reactions create a flow of electrons, which is what we refer to as electric current.


What is a positive or negative pole of an electrochemical cell?

They are called the electrodes or terminals. The parts of a cell where current leaves and enters the cell. The cathode is the positive, the anode is the negative.


What is the similarities between a wet cell battery and a dry cell battery?

Some of the similararities between wet cell batteries and dry cell batteries include: * Multiple cells. * A container such as a case or housing. * Positive and negative electrodes. * An electrolyte. * The ability to produce of electricity in the form of Direct Current [DC].


What is the role of electrons in a voltaic cell?

a volcanic cell has electrodes and electrons flow through electrodes .


Would two magnesium electrodes make a good wet cell that produces a lot of voltage why or why not?

No, because they are the same conductor and do not make a "ramp" for the electrodes to move along. They need to be different in order to make the electrodes move.


What type of current do dry-cell batteries produce?

A Direct Current, DC.


What is the cell potential?

Cell potential, also known as electromotive force (EMF), is the measure of the driving force behind the flow of electrons in an electrochemical cell. It is the difference in electric potential between two electrodes in a cell and is a measure of the cell's ability to produce an electric current. The cell potential is a key factor in determining the feasibility and direction of redox reactions in a cell.


Does a dry cell battery produce alternating current or direct current?

directA dry cell battery produces DC.
