A device that convers energy of combustion of fueles like hydrogen and methane, directly into electrical energy is known as .

A

Ni-Cd cell

B

Fuel cell

C

Electrolytic cell

D

Dynamo

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Galvanic cells that are designed to convert the energy of combustion of fuels like hydrogen, methane, methanol etc. directly into electrical energy are called fuel cells. In such cells, reactants arc fed continuously to the electrodes and products arc removed continuously to the electrodes and products arc removed continuously form the electrolyte compartment.
