what is an electric cell how an electric cell can give electric current
Answers
The simple electrical cells were first developed in 1800s.[1] They are also called galvanic cells, because an Italian scientist named Luigi Galvani invented these cells.
Special chemical reactions which occur inside the electrical cell, result in oxidation and reduction of the substances inside the cell.[1] This produces electrical energy. Normal batteries work like this.
Some electrical cells produce electricity without using chemical energy. For example, solar cells produce electricity when they are exposed to sun light.[2]
A plate of zinc and a plate of copper immersed in a dilute solution which contains acid or salt is an example of the chemical reaction based cell. The solution acts as an electrolyte (electric conductor). When the two plates are connected to a current meter with a wire, electric current will pass; this is because oxidation and reduction processes take place in this chemical reaction turning the zinc plate to a negative electrode and the copper plate to a positive electrode, and so the electrons flow from zinc to copper.
