Which of the following statements is true about the voltaic cell?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

A voltaic cell (or galvanic cell) is an electrochemical cell that uses a spontaneous chemical reaction to generate an electric current. Therefore, it converts chemical energy into electrical energy.

In a voltaic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode, making it the negative electrode, while reduction occurs at the cathode, making it the positive electrode. An electrolytic cell, on the other hand, converts electrical energy into chemical energy.

Answer: It converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
