How batteries work
The type of energy that batteries store and the type of energy that batteries output.
What are chemical and electrical?
the can catch fire in a failure (thermal runaway)
This is the particle that moves to create electricity
electron
a battery that is great at recharging and used in most chargeable electronics
lithium-ion
a vertebrate that spends majority of its life underwater
fish
The names for the two terminals of a battery.
anode and cathode
The reason batterie should be recycled
toxic chemicals are bad for the environment
In order for electricity to flow, the circuit must be
closed
a primary battery used in most flashlights and common household electronics
AA
the force that attracts all objects together in the universe
gravity
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 sun is gas on fire: True of False
False
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
radio waves are a kind of
light /electromagnetic waves
What happens when a battery is recharged?
metals are Undissolved so the reaction can occur again.
If a battery above 1.5 Volts is swallowed, it can result in this reaction which rips apart the water molecules in their bodies.
Hydrolysis
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
the center of stars
