Daniel Cell Substitute 1.08V

Quick Answer: The Daniel Cell Substitute 1.08V is an electronic laboratory reference source that provides a fixed 1.08 V DC output in place of a conventional (wet, electrochemical) Daniell cell. It is used mainly in potentiometer and EMF-comparison experiments where a stable, repeatable reference voltage is needed without preparing a chemical cell for every practical.

Description

The LabEquip Daniel Cell Substitute 1.08V supplies a fixed 1.08 V DC reference output for physics laboratory exercises that call for a Daniell-cell-equivalent EMF. It saves teaching staff from assembling and topping up a wet electrochemical cell before every potentiometer session, while still giving students a defined, repeatable reference value to work with.

This unit belongs to the LabEquip Electrical and Electronics range. Exact enclosure material, internal circuit construction, dimensions and terminal layout can vary by batch, so we recommend confirming these details with our sales team at the time of enquiry so they are recorded accurately against your order.

Key Features

• Fixed 1.08 V DC output, matching the reference value used in compatible Daniell-cell laboratory exercises.
• Removes the need to prepare a wet electrochemical Daniell cell for each practical session.
• Suited to potentiometer experiments involving EMF comparison and balance-point determination.
• Reusable laboratory apparatus intended for supervised school, college and university physics practicals.

Safety Note

Use this reference source only under trained/teacher supervision. Do not short-circuit the output terminals, connect it only to electrically compatible laboratory apparatus, and keep circuits de-energised while making or changing connections. Do not use the unit if its enclosure, terminals or connecting leads show visible damage, and disconnect and store it in a dry location after each practical session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Daniel Cell Substitute 1.08V used for?

It is used as an electronic reference source in physics experiments that would otherwise use a conventional Daniell cell, including potentiometer and EMF-comparison practicals.

What voltage does the Daniel Cell Substitute provide?

The specified output is a fixed 1.08 V DC.

Why use an electronic substitute instead of a chemical Daniell cell?

An electronic substitute provides the required reference output without preparing a wet electrochemical cell for each compatible experiment, saving preparation time between practicals.

Can it be used with potentiometer apparatus?

Yes. The 1.08 V reference source is intended for compatible potentiometer experiments involving EMF comparison and balance-point observations.

Is this the same as a chemical Daniell cell?

No. A conventional Daniell cell is an electrochemical galvanic cell. This product is an electronic substitute designed to provide the equivalent reference output for compatible laboratory experiments.
