what is the difference between a primary cell and secondary cell?

Question

cell like a battery cell

Answer 1

primary cell can be used once i.e the reaction in a primary cell is irreversible .
example-dry cell.
secondary cell is that in which the cell can be used again by recharging i.e the the reaction in a secondary cell is reversible.
example-lead-acid battery.

Answer 2

Think about a simple zinc - carbon primary cell; the electrolytic action eats away at the zinc container and eventually this fails. There is no chemical mechanism by which it can be "recharged" 1 2 Secondary cells have a different and more complex electrochemistry that works simply by moving electrons from one terminal to the other. During the charging process the electrons are moved back to their original places so at the end of a charge-discharge cycle the battery ends up the same as when it started.

Answer 3

a primary cell is the sorce,the secondary cell is what you wanted of the outcome for what it is used,the process can carry on until the primary cell stops working.

Answer 4

your secondary cell can be recharged and hence used again.
but not your primary. it just gets used once

Answer 5

secondary cn b used again primary cant

Answer 6

one follows the other like an annoying person
