Question

The energy stored in a torch cell is:

A) Light energy.

B) Electrical energy.

C) Chemical energy.

D) Potential energy.

Answer 1

Cell is a single electrical source which is used to supply the current in the circuit. A cell maintains a potential difference between the two external ends of the circuit. Two or more cells connected in series are known as the battery.

Complete step by step answer:
It is asked in the problem that the energy stored in the cell is which form. The cell uses redox reaction to store the energy in the form of chemical energy .The energy stored is in the form of chemical energy.

The correct answer for this problem is option C.

**
Additional information:**
There are three types of cells mainly-1. Primary cell. 2. Secondary cell 3. Reverse or fuel cell system.
A primary cell or battery is one which cannot be easily recharged after one use and it is usually discarded as it discharges whereas the secondary cell or battery can be easily charged by passing current through the circuit in the cell in the opposite direction the secondary cells require regular maintenance as the cells are supplying continuous work. The primary cells are suitable for the lighter load capacity and the secondary cells or batteries are suitable for the heavy loads. The primary cells are much cheaper than the secondary cell.
The reserve cell or fuel cell system consists of an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of the fuel into electricity by using the oxidizing agent and the chemical reaction that takes place is a redox reaction.

Note: The chemical energy in the cell gets converted in the form of electricity and then it is supplied in circuit. The chemical reactions take place inside the cell is flow of electrons from electrode to another material from an external circuit.
