A self-contained electrochemical power source that contains one or more voltaic cells. (Section 20.7)

A C"O group.

A means of protecting a metal against corrosion by making it the cathode in a voltaic cell. This can be achieved by attaching a more easily oxidized metal, which serves as an anode, to the metal to be protected. (Section 20.8)
