Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of battery that Jackson's toothbrush is using is a secondary cell; this is because it can be recharged (meaning the electrochemical reactions taking place in the battery can be reversed). Batteries generally work in such a way that, while using it, electrons move from the anode of the battery to the cathode. In primary cells, this process continues until there are no electron to be transferred from the anode to the cathode and then the battery "dies" and is disposed. But in a secondary cell, just like the battery of Jackson's toothbrush, when the battery is been recharged, the electrons start moving from the cathode back to the anode; which makes electrons available again in the anode for use.
