Electric cells are a common source of electric energy for many equipment. Electric cells are used in transistors, calculators, wristwatches, remotes, toys, clocks, cameras, video games, etc. An electrochemical cell is a device which by converting chemical energy into electrical energy maintains the flow of charge in a circuit. It usually consists of two electrodes of different materials and an electrolyte. The electrode at higher potential is called anode and the one at lower potential is cathode
Primary Cells: The cells which cannot be recharged electrically are called primary cells. Here the original state of cell cannot be brought back by passing electrical energy through cell from external source after cell is discharged. the examples are Voltaic cell, Daniel cell, Leclanche cell, manganese-alkaline cell, mercury button cell etc.
Secondary Cells: The cells in which chemical process is reversible are called secondary cells. Here original chemical state of the cell can be brought back by passing electrical energy through cell from external source. The examples are Lead acid accumulator, alkali cells etc.
1. Electric cells are light so they are portable (can be carried easily).
2. They produce a very small amount of electricity so they are perfectly safe and one can handle them without receiving electric shocks.
3. They are not very costly.
4. They do not contain any liquid chemicals that can be spilled.
5. They supply a steady electric current.
Voltaic Cell: This consists of a glass vessel, with dilute sulphuric acid Two plates one made up of copper and the other made of zinc, are placed in the jar such that each one of them is immersed in the acid. When these plates are externally connected to a bulb, electricity flows through the bulb and it glows. The dilute sulphuric acid is called electrolyte. The copper plate acts as a positive pole and the zinc plate acts as a negative pole and in the external circuit electricity flows from the copper plate to the zinc plate.
Leclanché Cell: The Leclanché cell consists of a porous pot and a zinc rod placed in a solution of ammonium chloride solution in a glass jar.The porous pot contains powdered carbon and manganese dioxide with a carbon rod dipped into it. Zinc rod acts as the negative plate and carbon rod acts as the positive plate. Electromotive force of this cell is 1.46 volt.
Dry Cell: This is a modified form of Leclanché cell. This consists of a cylindrical zinc container with a chemical mixture of ammonium chloride, zinc chloride with manganese dioxide and powdered carbon present in the form of a paste. In the middle of this can, there is a carbon rod with a brass cap.The brass cap of the carbon rod and the zinc can act as the positive and negative poles of the cell, respectively. The e.m.f of a dry cell is 1.46 volt.
The Bichromate Cell: This cell consists of a flat bottomed glass flask with a special stopper. A solution of potassium dichromate and dilute sulphuric acid is used as an electrolyte. Two carbon plates act as the positive poles and the zinc plate act as the negative pole. The zinc plate fixed to the stopper can be moved up and down. When the cell is not in use, the zinc plate is placed above the electrolyte. The hydrogen produced in the reaction gets oxidized by potassium bichromate. The e.m.f of this cell is 2 volt.

It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
The experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
Third consective year,my ward is in Abhyas with nice experience of admin and transport support.Educational standard of the institute recumbent at satisfactory level. One thing would live to bring in notice that last year study books was distributed after half of the session was over,though study ...

When I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
We started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
