Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To complete the blank given in the statement, “A high voltage in an electrochemical cell is analogous to $\underset{\_}{}$ in a river.”

Concept introduction:

The electrical voltage in a voltaic cell is the driving force that causes the electron flow. The low voltage represents low driving force and a high voltage represents high driving force. The concept of electrical voltage can be understood with the help of an analogy.
