==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
An '''electrical cell ''' is an electrical device that has a [[Chemical Potential Energy Store|chemical potential energy store ]] which provides a push for electrons [[electron]]s to flow around a [[circuit]]. ==Key Stage 4=====Meaning===An '''electrical cell''' is a device capable of storing [[Chemical Potential Energy Store|store chemical potential energy]] which can be transferred by [[electricity|electrically]] to [[Electrical Component|components]] in a [[circuit]]. ===About Electrical Cells===: '''Electrical cells''' contain a store of [[chemical]]s which can [[Chemical Reaction|react]] to produce a [[Potential Difference|potential difference]].: The [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] only takes place when there is a complete [[circuit]]. If the [[circuit]] is broken the [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] will stop.: Once all of the [[reactant]]s have been used, the '''electrical cell''' will stop providing a [[Potential Difference|potential difference]].
