Construction and Working of Voltaic cell

Construction and Working of Voltaic cell Points : Construction and Working of Voltaic cell, Flow of Current Construction Voltaic cell is consists of glass vessel filled by sulphuric acid with in which a zinc and a copper strip is placed. Two strips are linked by a conducing wire. Zinc plate has negative charge call cathode and copper plate has positive charge called anode. Working While Zinc strip placed in acid solution it is attach by the acid and begin to dissolve Zinc atoms enter in the solution as Zn⁺² ion and free two electrons on the strip.
Zn ? Zn^-2 + 2e^-
Sulphuric acid ionize as follows
H₂ SO₄ ? 2H ⁺ S0₄
Hydrogen positive ions gain electrons from copper strip as a result hydrogen becomes neutral and copper strip becomes positive. Flow of Current When negatively charged Zinc strip is connected to a positively charged Copper strip by means of a conducting wire, current start to flow from Zinc negative to copper positive.
