A good car battery gives you a little bit of power for a long period of time. A good car battery gives you a lot of power in a short period of time. The carbon rod in batteries is used as an inert electrode.

Answer 1

The carbon rod in batteries is used as an inert electrode

Step-by-step explanation:

A battery is considered as a power source that consists of one or more electrochemical cells having an external connections to provide power to the electrical devices such as the lights, bulbs, fans, mobile phones, etc.

It contains a positive terminal and a negative terminal.

The carbon rod in the battery does not help in the electrochemical reactions. It acts as an inert electrode and helps to flow the electrons only.

Thus the true statement is :

The carbon rod in batteries is used as an inert electrode.
