distinguish between primary and secondary cells?

A primary cell cannot be recharged whereas a secondary cell can be recharged. In a primary cell chemical reaction is irreversible whereas in a secondary cell chemical reaction is reversible. ... A primary cell is light and less expensive whereas a secondary cell is heavy and expensive.


What do you do when you have battery that cannot be recharged?

How wet cells are recharged?

they are charged by your mom


Are the rechargable batteries used in torches primary or small secondary cells?

Primary cells are designed to be used once and discarded. Secondary cells are, by definition, rechargeable batteries, and as such are the kind used in rechargeable torches (or flashlights, for you American types).


Can a dry cell battery be recharged?

Some wet cells can be recharged (e.g. lead acid cell) some wet cells can't be recharged (e.g. gravity cell). Some dry cells can be recharged (e.g. NiMH cell) some wet cells can't be recharged (e.g. carbon zinc cell). It depends on the cell chemistry not the wet/dry construction. Also any wet cell can be made into a dry cell by absorbing the wet electrolyte into something and making a damp paste electrolyte.


Why are the primary cells such as carbon-zinc cells not rechargeable while secondary cells such as lead storage cells rechargeable?

bacause the electrodes and electrolytes cannot be restored to the original state by an external potential, while in secondary cell can be used repeatedly, because the substance used in the production of electricity through cells are in the reverse direction during discharge.

What type of battery can be recharged?

There are many types of rechargeable batteries on the market today. Rechargeable batteries need are electrical and comprise of one or more electrochemical cells in order to be able to be recharged.


Is a flashlight a wet cell or a dry cell?

Generally we call them dry cells. However, the electrolyte in an alkaline cell is fairly liquid, so it may be a case of the technology outstripping the terminology. The old 'dry cell'/'wet cell' division really is no longer valid. We talk of 'primary cells' for cells that cannot be recharged, and 'secondary cells' for those that can.


Do both wet cells and dry cells work the same way?

No- different materials, different functions. Wet cell batteries are USUALLY storage batteries- they are recharged. Dry cell batteries are USUALLY supply batteries- a chemical reaction produces electrical power. When chemical are used up, the battery stops producing power, and cannot be recharged. The battery in most cars is a wet cell, batteries in most flashlights is a dry cell.


What are types of secondary cells?

a cell is one element of a battery, now commonly referred to also as a battery. Technically, of all the common "batteries", only the car battery and the small 9 v one are properly called batteries,, because they are made up of a number of cells in series. All the rest (AAA, AA, B, C etc) are cells. This distinction has become unused, and they are all called batteries. A primary cell/battery is one that cannot be recharged. A secondary cell/battery is one that can be recharged.


Give example of primary secondary cells?

A primary cell can't be recharged, for example am ordinary 'D' cell, while secondary cells are rechargeable, e.g. one of the cells in a car battery.
