equal to the e.m.f. ofa zinc copper acid cell. According then to this theory theaction of the cell is as follows. When the zinc and copperplates are immersed in the acid on open circuit all three areat the same potential. A copper wire, however, connected tothe zinc plate is at a lower potential… … Fig. 187. potential of the copper plate in the acid, positive electricitythen flows from the zinc plate through the acid to the copper 312 ELECTRICITY [CH.
