Description
This Daniel Cell is an example of a Primary Voltaic Cell. The
apparatus consists of a heavy-gauge copper outer vessel,
which acts as the positive electrode, an internal perforated
shelf for copper sulphate crystals, a porous pot, and a
rod of zinc amalgam fitted with a wooden
supporting cap, which is the negative electrode. The
zinc rod and copper vessel are each provided with a
4mm terminal socket. The working cell has an EMF of
approximately 1.1 volts.
