In the simple galvanic cell the copper metal maybe substituted by the carbon metal, since the difference in the potentialbetween zinc and carbon is as great, if not greater, than that between zincand copper; and this form of generator also combines other advantages which it is unnecessary to mention in this pi; Such is the brief outline of the physical explanation of the cause of 12 ELECTROLYSIS. setting in action an electrical force, kinetic energy, or electricity as it issimply named and known to the general reader.
