About This Product
A Daniell cell has long been the reference EMF for potentiometer practicals, but the wet cell needs fresh solutions and drifts as it polarises. This electronic version supplies the same 1.1 V on demand for calibrating a potentiometer wire and for bridge and EMF comparison experiments in physics labs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage does the Electronic Daniell Cell give?
A fixed 1.1 V DC.
Does the Electronic Daniell Cell need batteries or chemicals?
No. It runs from 230 V AC mains through an internal step-down transformer.
