The assembly of zine and ‘copper strips placed ins copper sulfate solution ts-an exemple of a “w-cll” batter. Tei called "wet" esate the electrodes replaced in lia sd. The copper sulfate solution was the elec: trolyte for your battery. The batery you made tn called a cel beeause isthe basic building as sreas™ “ho ‘lock of larger battries. Connecting cells can make batteries that supply more voltage than a singe cell, Many batteries are made by connect- ing cells: Teas what Sir Humpary Davy did ‘when he made his big battery. ‘Acar battery is made of wet cells. It is nade of six cells (pars of metal electrodes ‘with a liquid electrolyte made with sulfuric eid) arranged in @ row, The terminals of thebattery are connested tothe first and lst _metal electrodes in the row of cells. Connected this way, the sx cels provide enough electrical enerty to start a car and to supply energy to its lights, radio, and other electrical devices. But wet cells are aot always practical, What lund of problems would you have f you tied to.se tho wet call you made i a flashlight? ‘The batteries buik by Volts, Davy, and other solontists in the 19th century were wet call, [a the late 19th century, a new kind of battery was Invented. It is called a dry-cell battery. A dry cell battery isnot really dry, but i hasan elec: twolyte ini hat is «paste instead of liquid. ‘The electrodes and the electrolyte paste are put Jn sealed container with terminals connected to the ends of the ekotrodes. The paste does not spill out ithe dy cell moved around or tured upside down, ‘The invention of dry oall batterie mado bat teries portable.
