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.

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.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Abhyas institute is one of the best coaching institute in the vicinity of Ambala Cantt area. The teachers of the institute are well experienced and very helpful in solving the problems of the students.The good thing of the institute is that it is providing extra classes for the students who are w...
Abhyas is good institution and a innovative institute also. It is a good platform of beginners.Due to Abhyas,he has got knoweledge about reasoning and confidence.My son has improved his vocabulary because of Abhyas.Teacher have very friendly atmosphere 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
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.
Abhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.
In terms of methodology I want to say that institute provides expert guidence and results oriented monitering supplements by requsite study material along with regular tests which help the students to improve their education skills.The techniques of providing education helps the students to asses...
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 ...
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
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.
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.
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.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Usually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...
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.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very nice or it can be said wonderful. I have been studying here from seven class. I have been completing my journey of three years. I am tinking that I should join Abhyas Academy in tenth class as I am seeing much improvement in Maths and English
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.
