MCQ
Which of the following is the correct statement regarding electrochemical cell?
  • A
    It converts chemical energy to electrical energy.
  • B
    It converts electric energy to chemical energy.
  • C
    It converts chemical energy to thermal energy.
  • D
    It does not maintain the flow of charge in a circuit.

Answer

  1. It converts chemical energy to electrical energy.

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is a device which converts chemical energy to electric energy, and maintains the flow of charge in a circuit. There are 2 types of electrochemical cells – Galvanic cell and Electrolytic cell.
