 | | "Cell voltage" usually refers to nonequilibrium conditions, that is when current is flowing through the cell (although this convention is not always followed). | | | The current (or current density) flowing through an electrochemical cell that is charging/discharging the electrical double layer capacitance. | | | For a redox reaction, the combination of the oxidized and reduced species is often called the "redox couple." But it is also used to designate the combination of an anode and a cathode, especially for corrosion cells. |

| | A phototransistor, which is a type of photovoltaic cell, can generate a small current that acts like the input current in a conventional transistor and controls a larger current in the output circuit. | | | The photovoltaic type of photoelectric cell, when exposed to light, can generate and support an electric current without being attached to any external voltage source. | | | Since the current from a photocell can easily be used to operate switches or relays, it is often used in light-actuated counters, automatic door openers, and intrusion alarms. |
