The simple voltaic cell is the most primitive form of a battery cell. The Italian physicist Allesandro Volta discovered that when a copper and zinc metal separated by dilute sulfuric acid, form a battery cell. …
One of the most modern electrochemical technologies for producing electricity is a fuel cell. The fuel cell may be of different types. Although by principle all the fuel cells are the same. But different fuel …
Principally a galvanic cell is the same as a voltaic cell. Constructionally there may be some difference but both types of cell act based on the same principle. Because of that we sometimes refer to …
Construction of a Daniel Cell A cylindrical shaped copper pot is the main container of the Daniel cell. This conductive outer container of the cell behaves as the positive terminal. The container contains a strong …
In the year 1886, the French scientist George Leclanche has developed a wet cell known as the Leclanche cell. At that time, the cell was very much useful for telegraphs, telephones, signaling and electric bell …
The zinc-carbon battery cell is a variety of dry cell. It is basically a primary cell. Furthermore, principally this cell is similar to a Leclanche battery cell. The only difference is that instead of using …
An English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday deduced to fundamental laws of electrolysis. He segregated his laws in two parts. We know these as the First Law and Second Law of Electrolysis. Faraday’s First Law …

Definition of Electric Conductor There are some materials through which the electric current can flow. We call these materials as conductors of electricity. Also, we also call these materials as electric conductors. Types of Electric …

Before discussing the ionization or dissociation of electrolytes let us know what are electrolytes. What are electrolytes? There are some substances which can not exist in the molecular form in water. When we dissolve this …

What is Electrolyte? When we dissolve some specific compounds in water, the compounds split up in positive and negative ions. Due to the presence of ions these solutions can carry electric current. We call these …
