| Jun 16, 2017 at 14:45 | comment | added | DavePhD | @RishabhJain Yes, that one can be reversed. Zinc electrode is depleted in a primary battery en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc%E2%80%93carbon_battery | |
| Jun 16, 2017 at 14:37 | comment | added | Rishabh Jain | @DavePhD The redox reaction reduces one electrode and oxidizes other.The inherent potential is drawn from the electrolyte. The lead acid battery you mentioned can even be reversed ,i.e. charged back if electricity is given the other way.For a very short and concise description,visit sciencing.com/do-batteries-go-flat-7787904.html | |
| Jun 16, 2017 at 13:15 | comment | added | DavePhD | @RishabhJain I think you have it backward when you say "in a battery the electrolyte gets depleted not the electrodes". For example a lead electrode is depleted while the sulfuric acid electrolyte is not. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93acid_battery | |
| Jun 16, 2017 at 8:08 | comment | added | Rishabh Jain | Did you mean battery?In that case, the ions will flow into the solution or away from it till both the solutions have the same voltage difference and then the current will stop(just like connecting two opposite batteries). | |
| Jun 16, 2017 at 8:04 | comment | added | Hiiii | @ Rishabh Jain I think my question is not so clear; Actually in my question, I'm connecting the battery across water. Water is the load resistor in my setup. I'd like to know how charged ions move in water w/o getting used up | |
| Jun 16, 2017 at 8:02 | comment | added | Rishabh Jain | That's the place where you want to use it.For example, you can connect a resistor (maybe a small fan) to it and current will flow through it . | |
| Jun 16, 2017 at 7:58 | comment | added | Hiiii | Okay so its a molar volume, got it! Thank you :) May I ask how the charge flows outside the battery, on the other side at metal-water interface ? | |
