The sign convention for electrical work is

A

the same as that for `P-V` work

B

the opposite of that for `P-V` work

C

independent of `P-V` work

D

same as that for faraday

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Electrical work `(w_("ele"))` is given as
`w_("ele") = -nFE_("cell")`
The negative sign on the right-hand side indicates that the electrical work is done by the systam on the surronding The toal charge that passes through a circuit in a galvanic cell is determined by the num,ber of moles of electrons `(n)` that pass through the circuit. By definition. Toal charge `= nF`
