A secondary cell is one

  • A
    can be recharged.
  • B
    can be recharged by passing current through it in the same direction.
  • Correct answer
    C
    can be recharged by passing current through it in the opposite direction.
  • D
    can not recharged

Solution

In secondary cells electrode reactions can be reversed by external electric energy source, therefore, these cells can
berecharged by passing electric current and used again and again.
The current is passed in the direction opposite to that of the flow of current generated by the cell.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
