BlakeA wet cell produces electricity through a chemical reaction that occurs between the electrodes and the electrolyte solution. This reaction causes electrons to flow from the negative electrode to the positive electrode, creating an electrical current. The electrolyte allows the flow of ions between the electrodes, completing the circuit and generating electricity.

How does a wet cell battery produce electrons to flow as electricity?
In a wet cell battery, a chemical reaction occurs between the electrolyte and the electrodes, creating an excess of electrons at the negative electrode (anode) and a deficit at the positive electrode (cathode). This imbalance causes the electrons to flow from the negative electrode to the positive electrode through the external circuit, generating electricity.
Is a wet tree limb a conductor of electricity?
Yes, a wet tree limb can conduct electricity because water is a good conductor of electricity. If the tree limb comes into contact with a live wire or other source of electricity, the water on the limb can facilitate the flow of electrical current through the limb. This can pose a danger of electric shock if touched.
In a wet type of voltaic cell what is electrolyte?
In a wet type of voltaic cell, the electrolyte is a liquid or gel substance that allows the flow of ions between the two half-cells to maintain charge neutrality. It helps facilitate the flow of electrons in the external circuit, allowing the cell to generate electricity. Examples of electrolytes in wet cells include acidic or alkaline solutions like sulfuric acid or potassium hydroxide.
What does a photoelectric need to produce electricity?
A photoelectric cell or solar cell needs sunlight to produce electricity. When sunlight strikes the cell, it excites electrons in the material of the cell, generating an electric current through the cell.
Why touching a bare electricity wire with current flowing through it gives a electric shock. what happens if the body is wet?
When a person touches a bare electricity wire with current flowing through it, the body completes a circuit and the electricity flows through the body, causing an electric shock. If the body is wet, the water acts as a conductor and facilitates the flow of electricity through the body. This can lead to a more severe shock as wet skin has lower resistance than dry skin.
