Answer 1

Answer:

The commercial lead acid cell has 13 plates. The number of positive plates would be 6

Explanation:

1. There will always be odd number of plates in lead acid battery.

2. Number of negative plates are more than positive plates

Total plates = n = 13

Number of negative plates = (n+1)/2 = (13+1)/2 = 7

Number of positive plates = (n-1)/2 = (13+1)/2 = 6

Therefore, the number of positive plates in given lead acid battery is 6
