Abstract
HAVING been for some months occupied with the electrical behaviour of the compounds of copper, silver, and lead with tellurium, selenium, and sulphur, I can confirm the observation communicated to your pages by Mr. Bidwell as to the behaviour of sulphide of copper. He has constructed a primary cell with solid sulphides for the electrolytes. The smallness of the electromotive force which he has obtained is entirely due to the close proximity of copper and silver in the thermochemical series in respect to their heats of combination with sulphur. The theoretical electromotive force should be only.05 volt.
