Question 1 of 27070

What material are the plates of a wet cell NiCad storage battery made of?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between electrode plate materials and electrolyte in a battery • Typical materials used in nickel-cadmium (NiCad) storage batteries • Which options describe plate compounds versus liquid solutions

💭 Think About

• Identify which answer choices are clearly describing an electrolyte solution rather than solid plates • Recall the characteristic active materials that give a NiCad battery its name • Eliminate any choices that obviously refer to materials commonly associated with lead-acid batteries instead of NiCad

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the choice you pick describes solid plate (electrode) materials, not the liquid between them • Verify that the chemicals listed are consistent with a nickel-cadmium system (look for nickel and cadmium in the names) • Check if any option clearly belongs to a lead-acid battery and rule that out for a NiCad question
