When it is charging - and then the other way around when it is discharging.

True because in an electrolytic cell the reaction is nonspontaneous meaning you need an outside source of voltage. That outside source of voltage(electrical energy) is charging the electrolytic cell which is converting it to chemical energy. And it's the opposite for a voltaic cell.

in accordance to the common help potentials of Cu2+ and Zn2+, Cu2+ has an E of +0.34 and Zn2+ has an E of -0.seventy six. subsequently, Cu2+ is a robust oxidizing agent and Zn is a robust reducing agent. extra destructive the help skill, the extra advantageous reducing agent; it extremely is an identical for oxidizing brokers, in elementary terms for strengthen in positivity.
