Solution and Explanation
Cell potential is the difference in the electric potential between two electrodes in an electrochemical cell. It is a measure of the ability of a redox reaction to occur spontaneously. The cell potential is typically measured in volts (V) and is denoted by \( E_{\text{cell}} \). The higher the cell potential, the greater the driving force for the reaction.
