How do they do this? (hint: reducing and oxidising agent)

  1. They seperate the oxidising and reducing agent into 2 half cells

  2. This makes the electrons move to the oxidising agent across the system.

  3. The oxidising agent is reduced and gains electrons

  4. The flow of electrons create electrical energy
