Post by: JV-12 on October 12, 2012, 12:35:07 am

I was wondering whether we need to know about the different types primary and secondary cells? for example zinc-carbon dry cell, alkaline cells, button cells etc

I know you don't have to memorise the specific half equations, but you need to have general idea of what is at the cathode/anode and how it all works to produce electricity.
