How batteries work
A single stack of two metals and an electrolyte is called a...
Cell
the atom is small, so more atoms can fit in the battery, making a higher density.
This is the charged particle that DOES NOT move during an electric shock or electric current.
Protons
These primary batteries are used in class, and can be made into D, AA, and AAA.
Zinc Carbon Batteries
Some objects can be launched into space so quickly that that they cannot fall back down. The objects will then circle Earth forever, never falling back down. This movement of objects is called:
Orbit
The names for the two terminals of a battery.
anode and cathode
Instead of throwing batteries with toxic chemicals away, we can repurpose them by _______
recycling them for other uses
The light switches connected to the lights can turn the lights on and off by opening and closing the circuit. When the lights are off, the circuit is... (open or closed)
OPEN
a primary battery used in most flashlights and common household electronics
AA
A concept in the universe that determines how much stuff can be done which cannot be created or destroyed...
energy
This plays a part in creating a flow of electrons from the negative end of the battery, to the positive end of the battery
electrolytes
why is lithium such an explosive elecement, like sodium or potassium
only one electron in the outer shell of the atom, highly reactive
This is the electric term used to describe how badly charges are pushed through a wire
voltage
This is the primary kind of batteries used in cars
lead acid batteries
The cheetah has the fastest top speed in the animal kingdom, traveling at 75 mph. However, that speed doesn't last long. If the cheetah was forced to race the second fastest, non-flying creature, it would lose an extended race. What creature is this?
Sail Fish 68 mph, will take "fish"
Connecting multiple cells together leading to larger surface area connection between each part of a battery cell results in...
more power!
the worst metal that is super toxic and used in old gasoline and some batteries
lead
series circuit
This battery uses liquid containers for its anode and cathode
flow/vanadium battery
This is the type of light created by the sun which causes sunburn and skin cancer. It can also make certain materials glow, like in glow in the dark mini gold courses.
Ultraviolet/UV light
What happens when a battery is recharged?
metals are Undissolved so the reaction can occur again.
These metals are the ones with only one electron in their outermost shell. The reactive metals are the most useful in battery construction and explode when exposed to water. Lithium and Sodium are two examples. These metals are called...
Alkaline Metals
this is a circuit where you can disconnect one light bulb, and the others stay on. It gives charges multiple paths to travel.
parallel
these batteries can be cut into any shapes
pouch battery
How do coal power plants create electricity?
the burn coal, to boil water, to spin a fan, which moves a magnet near some wire.
