Why is cathode positive in leclanche cell??

Physics
1 answer:
laila [671]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because the zinc is reluctant

Explanation:

A leclanche cell contains a conducting solution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide (oxidizer), and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc (reductant).

As the Zn2+ ions move away from the anode, leaving their electrons on its surface,

Zn → Zn2+ + 2e−

the anode becomes more negatively charged than the cathode. When the cell is connected to an external electrical circuit, the excess electrons on the zinc anode flow through the circuit to the carbon rod, the movement of electrons forming an electric current.

Serga [27]

Answer: F

Out of the page.

Explanation:

For an electron with a charge of -e, the magnitude of the force on it is F = BeV

Where

F = force on the electron

e = charge ( electrons )

V = velocity

B = magnetic field

F is the force acting on all the electrons in a wire which gives rise to the F = BIL

Where

I = current

L = length of the wire

The force F is always at the right angle to the particle's velocity and its direction can be found using the left hand rule.

When the electron is moving in the plane of the page in the direction indicated by the arrow, the force on the electron is directed out of the page.

A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 51.9 N . When the rock is totally i
Luden [163]

Answer:

\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

When the rock is immersed in unknown liquid the forces that act on it are shown as under

1) Tension T by the string

2) Weight W of the rock

3) Force of buoyancy due to displaced liquid B

For equilibrium we have T_{3}+B = W_{rock}

T_{3}+\rho _{Liquid}V_{rock}g=W_{rock}.....(\alpha)

When the rock is suspended in air for equilibrium we have

T_{1}=W_{rock}....(\beta)

When the rock is suspended in water for equilibrium we have

T_{2} + \rho _{water}V_{rock}g=W_{rock}.....(\gamma)

Using the given values of tension and solving α,β,γ simultaneously for \rho _{Liquid} we get

W_{rock}=51.9N\\31.6+1000\times V_{rock}\times g=51.9N\\\\11.4+\rho _{liquid}V_{rock}g=51.9N\\\\

Solving for density of liquid we get

\rho _{liquid}=\frac{51.9-11.4}{51.9-31.6}\times 1000

\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}
