Question

What is a voltaic cell?

• A. A cell in which a spontaneous redox reaction produces electricity.
• B. A cell in which an oxidation reaction produces electricity.
• C. A cell that produces voltage.
• D. A cell full of volts.
• E. Any cell that undergoes a spontaneous reaction.

Answer 1

The correct option is A A cell in which a spontaneous redox reaction produces electricity.

A voltaic cell is a cell in which a spontaneous redox reaction produces electricity. It is an electrochemical cell and is also called galvanic cell. Chemical energy is converted into electrical energy. The dry cell, nickel cadmium cell, lead storage cell and fuel cells are examples of voltaic cell.
