Conservation of energy violation of galvanic cell electron

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the conservation of energy in galvanic cells, specifically addressing the behavior of a single electron during a galvanic reaction. It concludes that when a galvanic reaction reclaims its electron, approximately 0.356 eV of magnetic energy remains within a superconductor without a mechanism to replace the electron. The only way to prevent a violation of energy conservation is to introduce magnetic energy without altering the electron count in the external circuit. If not, the electron with 0.356 eV would charge the galvanic cell.

When a galvanic reaction reclaims its (single) electron, magnetic energy (about 0.356 eV) within a superconductor will remain, w/o a means of replacing the galvanic electron.

During the reaction, electrical current from the single electron would correspond to the number of times per second this electron passes through any cross-section within the circuit.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The only scenario that avoids a conservation of energy violation is the addition of magnetic energy w/o the addition or removal of an electron to/from the external circuit.

Within this scenario, magnetic energy exists within the superconductor, w/o electron movement. Otherwise, an electron w/ 0.356 eV would charge the galvanic cell.
