How much voltage exists between the two half cells of a battery
Cell potential
How much voltage exists between the two half cells of a battery. Cell potential. Cell potential is the measure of the electric potential difference between two half-cells in a galvanic cell, indicating the battery's ability to produce an electric current.

An electric cell in which the electrolyte is absorbed into a paste, preventing spillage
Dry cell
An electric cell in which the electrolyte is absorbed into a paste, preventing spillage. Dry cell. A dry cell is a type of battery where the liquid electrolyte is minimized into a paste, making it portable and less likely to leak.

The difference in electric potential between an electrode and the electrolyte with which it is in contact
Electrode potential
The difference in electric potential between an electrode and the electrolyte with which it is in contact. Electrode potential. Electrode potential is the voltage difference between a metal electrode and the solution it's in, showing how easily electricity is transferred.

An electrochemical device in which electrolysis takes place when an electric current is used
Electrolytic cell
An electrochemical device in which electrolysis takes place when an electric current is used. Electrolytic cell. An electrolytic cell uses electricity to cause a chemical reaction that wouldn't happen on its own.

A device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction
Fuel cell
A device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction. Fuel cell. It is a gadget that generates electricity by combining fuel with oxygen without burning.

A tube containing a strong electrolyte used to separate the half cells in a voltaic cell
Salt bridge
A tube containing a strong electrolyte used to separate the half cells in a voltaic cell. Salt bridge. A salt bridge is a device that allows ions to flow between two half-cells, maintaining electrical neutrality in a voltaic cell.
