Leclanche Cell Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Leclanche Cell (Product Code: SCL-376/087) is a primary cell apparatus used to provide and study a chemical source of EMF in school and college physics practicals. It consists of a zinc rod of 12.5 mm diameter and a charged porous pot of 150 x 60 mm (height x diameter) with terminals, giving an EMF of about 1.4 V. The cell is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Leclanche Cell Used For?

The Leclanche cell is a standard item of physics practical equipment for CBSE and state-board labs, where students compare its EMF with that of a Daniell cell on a potentiometer. It also shows how a classic wet primary cell works: the zinc rod forms the negative electrode, while the charged porous pot holds the positive electrode and its depolarising mixture.

To set it up, the zinc rod and porous pot are placed in the cell’s electrolyte and connected by their terminals. A Leclanche cell polarises if it supplies current for long periods, so it suits intermittent use — close the circuit with a key only while taking readings, and let the cell rest between trials.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of Leclanche cells needed for your practical groups.
• Whether you also need an outer container and ammonium chloride for the electrolyte.
• Any companion cell and potentiometer for EMF-comparison experiments.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM of this Leclanche Cell and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it direct from the manufacturer, and repeat orders or replacement zinc rods and porous pots can be discussed with us directly.

Items used with the Leclanche cell in EMF experiments:

• Deniel Cell — a Daniell-type cell whose EMF is compared with the Leclanche cell.
• Potentiometer, 10 wire — measures the EMF by the null method without drawing current.
• Ammonium Chloride 99% — the chemical traditionally used for the cell’s electrolyte.
• jockey — locates the balance point on the potentiometer wire.
• Voltmeter — for quick checks of the cell’s terminal voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What EMF does the Leclanche Cell give?
The Leclanche Cell gives an EMF of about 1.4 V. That value makes it a useful known source in potentiometer practicals, where students compare its EMF with that of another primary cell such as a Daniell cell.

What are the parts of the Leclanche Cell?
The Leclanche Cell consists of a zinc rod of 12.5 mm diameter and a charged porous pot measuring 150 x 60 mm (height x diameter), fitted with terminals. The zinc rod and the porous pot form the two electrodes of the cell.

Are an outer jar and electrolyte included with the Leclanche Cell?
Our listing for the Leclanche Cell describes the zinc rod and the charged porous pot with terminals. Whether an outer container or ammonium chloride for the electrolyte is included should be confirmed through the contact page, and it will be stated in your quotation.

Why is the Leclanche Cell measured with a potentiometer?
A potentiometer measures the Leclanche Cell’s EMF at the balance point, where no current is drawn from the cell. This matters because a Leclanche cell polarises when it delivers current for long periods, so a null method gives a truer value than a loaded reading.

How should the Leclanche Cell be stored between practicals?
Store the Leclanche Cell clean and dry: take the zinc rod and porous pot out of any electrolyte, rinse and dry the zinc, and keep the parts in a cool cupboard. The working life of the charged pot depends on use and storage, so ask us about replacements.

Who manufactures the Leclanche Cell?
The Leclanche Cell is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
