Primary cells
In terms of electrical cells, what is the primary difference between dry cells and wet cells?
The presence of electrolytes - dry cells have a paste electrolyte, while wet cells have a liquid electrolyte
What is the function of switches in an electrical circuit?
To open or close the circuit, controlling the flow of current

Study Notes
Electrical Cells
- Electrolytic cells use electrolytes as a part of the electrical source.
- Closed circuits allow the current to flow through them.
- Secondary cells, also known as rechargeable cells, can be recharged for multiple uses.
- The primary difference between dry cells and wet cells is that dry cells have a paste-like electrolyte, whereas wet cells have a liquid electrolyte.
- The function of switches in an electrical circuit is to control the flow of electric current.
- Voltaic cells, also known as galvanic cells, are a type of cell that generates electricity through a spontaneous chemical reaction, and their function is to produce electricity.
Test your knowledge of electric current, different electrical sources, voltaic cells, electrolytes, dry cells versus wet cells, primary versus secondary cells, electrical loads, switches, and open versus closed circuits.
