An electrochemical cell is a device used for generating an electromotive force (voltage) and current from chemical reactions.
How works[]
The current is caused by the reactions releasing and accepting electrons at the different ends of a conductor.
Example[]
A common example of an electrochemical cell is a standard 1.5-volt battery.
