Leclanche Cell Substitute
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11341
Quick answer: The Leclanche Cell Substitute is an educational low-voltage DC source that takes the place of a wet Leclanche cell in physics practicals such as comparing EMFs with a potentiometer. It removes the need to prepare electrodes and ammonium chloride electrolyte before each class. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

Uses
The Leclanche cell, a zinc rod and a carbon rod in ammonium chloride solution with a manganese dioxide depolariser, was the standard wet primary cell of the school laboratory and the forerunner of the ordinary dry cell. It is a common second cell in potentiometer experiments, but a wet cell needs fresh electrolyte and cleaned electrodes and slowly polarises during use.
A cell substitute gives the class a fixed, ready-to-use DC source for the same experiments: comparing the EMFs of two cells by their balancing lengths, showing cell polarity and current direction, and supplying small low-voltage circuits.
- Confirm the output rating of the substitute and check that it suits the experiment.
- Keep the external circuit open while connecting, and identify the positive and negative outputs.
- Connect it into the potentiometer or test circuit with the correct polarity.
- Take the readings, then disconnect the substitute when the experiment is finished.
Key features
