What are the components of a voltaic cell?

• The anode is an electrode where oxidation occurs.

• The cathode is an electrode where reduction occurs.

• A salt bridge is a chamber of electrolytes necessary to complete the circuit in a voltaic cell.

• The oxidation and reduction reactions are separated into compartments called half-cells.

•The external circut is used to conduct the flow of electrons between the electrodes of the voltaic cell and usually includes a load.

• The load is the part of the circuit which utilizes the flow of electrons to perform some function.
