By the end of the topic, learners will be able to:
• Explain that a cell is a system in which certain chemical reactions can cause the flow of electricity through an external circuit
• Identify cells as a source of electricity
• Describe a battery as a group of connected cells.
(a) An electric cell refers to a system where chemical reactions result in the flow of electricity.
(b)The flow of electricity occurs through the external circuit.
(c) An electric circuit is a closed loop through which electric current flows.
(d) A battery is made of two or more cells connected.
(e) The following zinc–copper cell uses one of the solutions in the saltbridge.
