Question
What is the difference between a cell and a battery?
✓
Answer
An electric cell produces electricity from the chemicals stored inside it. When the chemicals in the electric cell are used up, the electric cell stops producing electricity. It has two
terminaIs - positive and negative.
terminaIs - positive and negative.
When two or mo re cells are connected together such that the positive terminaI of one cell is connected to the negative terminal of the next cell; such a combination of two or more cells is called a battery. A battery is thus a combination of two or more cells.
