Electric eels and electric fish generate large potential differences that are used to stun enemies and prey. these potentials are produced by cells that each can generate 0.100 v . we can plausibly model such cells as charged capacitors.

Answer:

Yes,the cells of electric eel are charged capacitors.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Charged capacitors can be considered as the two charged plates due to the supply of considerable amount of voltage.
  • Electric ell is a type of fish which produce current to kill their prey or predator.
  • In the ell there are 4 to 5 organs which differs in the potential. Due to that electric potential difference, eel is able to produce a considerable amount of voltage.
  • The cells of organs are called as electrolytes which store and transfer the charge from one cell to other.
  • Hence these cells can be modeled as charged capacitors.
