ext we can draw a similar diagram. Thus in the caseof a voltaic cell, there is in the views of many electriciansreason to suppose that when the zinc is dipped into thedilute acid, its potential is less than that of the acid by1-8 volts, while the potential of the copper falls below thatof the acid… … Fig. 138. If the circuit be completed by joining the free end of thecopper wire to the copper plate we proceed thus: 220 ELECTRICITY [CH. XIV Let OA, Fig. 139, represent the resistance of the zinc, AB ofthe acid, BG of the copper, CD of the wire. Draw ON perpen-dicular to OABGD to represent E the…
