Cell Simple Copper With Zinc
Product Code : LSK-CL-10048
Cell Simple Copper With Zinc (SKU LSK-CL-10048) is a simple voltaic cell: a jar fitted with one zinc plate and one copper plate electrode. When the jar holds an electrolyte, the two metals produce a small voltage that can light an indicator or move a meter needle, making it a first hands-on example of electrochemistry for school students. Science Lab Supplies ships this cell from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The cell is built around a jar with two plate electrodes, one of zinc and one of copper, set apart so that they dip into the same liquid. It is the single-container arrangement of Volta's cell, without the porous pot or salt bridge found in a Daniell cell.

Applications and Experiments for the Simple Copper-Zinc Cell
This simple cell lets students see that two different metals in an electrolyte produce an electric current. It also shows the weaknesses of a single-liquid cell, such as falling voltage and gas bubbles on the copper plate, which leads naturally into the Daniell cell and modern batteries.
- Class 8–10 science: chemical effects of electric current and sources of electricity.
- Class 12 chemistry: comparing a simple cell with a Daniell cell.
- Physics labs: polarisation and internal resistance of a primary cell.
- Science clubs: testing different electrolytes and measuring the voltage produced.
If a dilute acid is used as the electrolyte, it is corrosive: wear eye protection and gloves and prepare it only under teacher supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises the jar with its zinc plate and copper plate electrodes, as described above. The electrolyte, connecting leads and a voltmeter or bulb are not part of the set and can be quoted as separate items on the same order.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for one cell for a demonstration bench or a number of cells for group work. The quotation you get back covers packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and spare electrode plates or other chemistry lab equipment in India can be listed with it.
As an exporter registered with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a simple cell different from a Daniell cell?
A simple cell has both electrodes in one liquid, so its voltage drops as gas collects on the copper plate. A Daniell cell separates two solutions with a porous pot to give a steadier output.
What are the electrodes made of?
One electrode is a zinc plate and the other a copper plate, both fitted to the jar.
Who supplies the Cell Simple Copper With Zinc?
It is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, and can be quoted with Daniell cells, electrodes and meters for an electrochemistry bench.
Is the electrolyte supplied?
No. The laboratory prepares its own electrolyte; the set contains the jar and the two plate electrodes.
Related Cells and Electrodes
Teachers often move from this simple cell to a Daniell cell, a stack of cells or a fun everyday-material demonstration. The four items below support that sequence and can go on one quotation.
- Cell Daniel Copper With Zinc — two-solution cell with a steadier 1.1 V output.
- Volta Battery (Glass Type) — several cells joined to raise the voltage.
- Electrode Plate — spare plates in several materials.
