Question

A voltaic cell spontaneously converts1) electrical energy to chemical energy(2) chemical energy to electrical energy(3) electrical energy to nuclear energy(4) nuclear energy to electrical energy

Answer 1

A voltaic cell spontaneously converts chemical energy to electrical energy. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "2". Actually voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical contained within it by the process of chemical reaction to produce electrical energy. The voltaic cell contains an anode and a cathode. Anode is an electrode where the oxidation occurs and cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs. The oxidation and the reduction part occurs in two separate parts of the cell known as half-cell.
