Apparatus for Demonstrating the Galvanic Element (With Galvanometer)

Product Code : SCL-CL-11454

Apparatus for Demonstrating the Galvanic Element (With Galvanometer) (SKU SCL-CL-11454) builds a two-beaker galvanic cell of the Daniell type: zinc and copper plates stand in separate solutions joined by a U-shaped glass bridge, and a laboratory galvanometer shows the current the cell produces. Chemistry and physics teachers use it for electrochemistry lessons. Science Lab Supplies sources and supplies the set from Ambala, India for schools, colleges, institutes, distributors and tender contractors.

Specifications

The cell uses two graduated 250 ml glass cups as half-cell containers, with a zinc plate electrode in one and a copper plate electrode in the other. A U-shaped glass tube links the two solutions, and electrical conductor wire connects the plates to the laboratory galvanometer.

Applications and Experiments for the Galvanic Element Apparatus

This galvanic cell set shows how a spontaneous redox reaction between zinc and copper ions produces an electric current. The galvanometer deflection makes the current visible, and removing the bridge shows why the circuit needs ion flow between the two half-cells.

• Class 12 chemistry (electrochemistry): the Daniell cell, electrode reactions and the role of the salt bridge.
• NCERT Class 10 science: reactivity series, with zinc displacing copper.
• B.Sc. physical chemistry: introducing galvanic cells before EMF measurements.
• Physics classes: chemical cells as sources of current.

Standard Scope of Supply

Each set comprises two graduated 250 ml glass cups, one zinc and one copper plate electrode, the U-shaped glass bridge tube, a laboratory galvanometer and the electrical conductor for connections. Zinc sulfate and copper sulfate solutions, or other electrolytes, are prepared by the laboratory and are not part of the listing.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

A quotation can cover one demonstration set or enough sets for group work at every bench. It will state the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and spare electrode plates can be added. This helps schools planning school chemistry lab equipment in India buy the whole cell practical at once.

Science Lab Supplies, a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. Start an enquiry on the contact page or through the enquiry cart; for institutional tenders, see the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the U-shaped glass tube for?
It is the bridge between the two half-cells. Filled with an electrolyte, it lets ions move between the cups so the circuit is completed and current flows.

Is the galvanometer included?
Yes. A laboratory galvanometer is part of the set, so the current from the zinc-copper cell can be shown without extra instruments.

Who supplies the Apparatus for Demonstrating the Galvanic Element (With Galvanometer)?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this set from Ambala, India to schools and colleges, and gives quantity quotations to distributors and tender contractors.

Are the solutions supplied?
No. The listing covers glassware, electrodes, galvanometer and wire. Copper sulfate is harmful, so prepare and handle solutions with gloves and eye protection under supervision.
