How cell produce Electricity
Answers
Answer:
Inside an electrochemical cell or battery are chemicals that react together to produce electricity i.e. the cell produces a potential difference (p.d. or voltage). The reactants constitute a supply of chemical potential energy to be converted into electrical energy.
Dry cell batteries create electrical energy by converting chemical energy into electricity. The exact means of doing so depends on the type of dry cell battery in question, but the materials that are used are generally zinc and carbon or zinc and manganese dioxide.
These materials are placed within the electrolyte paste within the battery. They react with each other through a chemical process in which the electrolyte (carbon or manganese dioxide) reacts with the zinc, creating electricity. This is transmitted out of the battery using positive and negative electrodes.
