Can anyone tell me how voltaic cell works
A Voltaic Cell works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. This process involves two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, which are placed in an electrolyte solution. The chemical reactions between the electrodes and the electrolyte create a flow of electrons, generating an electrical current.
The purpose of a Voltaic Cell is to provide a source of electrical energy. It is commonly used in batteries to power electronic devices such as cell phones and laptops. It can also be used in larger applications, such as powering electric cars or storing energy from renewable sources.
The voltage of a Voltaic Cell is determined by the difference in potential between the two electrodes. This is known as the cell potential or electromotive force (EMF). It is affected by factors such as the type of electrodes, the concentration of the electrolyte, and the temperature.
A Voltaic Cell is composed of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, which are connected by a wire and an external circuit. The electrodes are immersed in an electrolyte solution, which allows the chemical reactions to occur. A separator, such as a porous membrane, may also be used to prevent direct contact between the electrodes.
A Voltaic Cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy, while an electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. In a Voltaic Cell, the anode is the site of oxidation and the cathode is the site of reduction, while in an electrolytic cell, the opposite occurs. Additionally, the electrodes in a Voltaic Cell are typically made of different metals, while in an electrolytic cell, they can be made of the same material.
