The cell is then, when the charging current ceases, capable of acting as a voltaic cell.
Just why or how chemical action in a voltaic cell results in the production of a negative charge on the consumed plate is not known.
If we simply make a solution of blue vitriol in a glass beaker and dip the wires from a voltaic cell into it, we shall find the wire from the negative pole become freshly coated with particles of new copper.
Becquerel, the French chemist, found that two plates of silver freshly coated with silver from a solution of chloride of silver and plunged into water, form a voltaic cell which is sensitive to light.
The action of the thermo-pile, like that of a voltaic cell, can be reversed.
From this result Thomson proceeded to calculate the electromotive forces required to effect chemical changes of different kinds, and those of various types of voltaic cell.
The electrochemical apparatus was a voltameter containing a definite compound to be electrolysed, or a voltaic cell or battery.
The current produced by a voltaic cell is affected by the resistance that the current meets in passing from one plate to another through the liquid of the cell.
In electrical diagrams, the symbol employed to represent a voltaic cell is a short thick line near to and parallel to a longer thin one.
In the illustration, the tubes Cu and Zn correspond to the conducting plates of copper and zinc of a voltaic cell.
In the case of a voltaic cell, the circuit includes not only the wires connecting the plates but also the plates themselves and the liquid between them.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "voltaic cell" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
