Advertisements
Solution
An electric cell produces electricity from the chemicals stored in it.
Explanation:
An electric cell converts chemical energy stored in its chemicals (usually through a chemical reaction between the electrolyte and the electrodes) into electrical energy. This energy is then used to power electrical devices connected to the cell.
