• Basic usage: A model of the apparatus appears in 電解槽の模型, while its internal design appears in 電解槽の内部構造.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Difference from 電池
  • It should be distinguished from a battery or cell that supplies or stores electrical energy rather than serving as electrolysis equipment.
