Chapter 17.3, Problem 17.3CE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An internal on-off switch for a battery has to be devised.

Concept Introduction:

A battery is an electrochemical cell because a chemical reaction occurs in a battery during discharge process.  An electrochemical cell is a type of device which either converts a chemical reaction into electrical energy or converts electrical work into a chemical reaction.  On the basis of these processes, the electrochemical cells are classified as voltaic cell and electrolytic cell.  In the voltaic cell, a chemical reaction is used to obtain electrical energy.  In the electrolytic cell, electrical energy is used to proceed with a chemical reaction which is not spontaneous.
