Question

Write the name of the cell which is generally used in transistors. Write the reactions taking place at the anode and the cathode of this cell.

Answer 1

Generally a primary cell known as Leclanche cell is used in the transistor.

Anode Reaction: $Zn\to Z{n}^{2+}+2e^{-}$

Cathode Reaction: $Mn{O}_2+N{H}_4^{+}+e^{-}\to MnO\left(OH\right)+N{H}_3$
