|
Answer» Solution :Electrochemical cells are mainly classified into the following TWO types. (i) GALVANIC Cell (Voltaic cell) : It is a DEVICE in which a spontaneous CHEMICAL reaction generates an electric current i.e., it converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It is commonly known as a battery. (ii) Electrolytic cell : It is a device in which an electric current from an external SOURCE drives a nonspontaneous reaction i.e., it converts electrical energy into chemical energy. |
