What is Battery ?

chemical reactions that happen at the anode and cathode

The electrolyte also inhibits the flow of electrons

between the anode and cathode so that the electrons more easily flow through the external circuit

Dead Battery

The chemicals in the battery

battery will not generate any more electric current

At this point, the battery is considered “dead.”

battery will not generate any more electric

Primary cells must be disposed when the battery is dead

Secondary cells can be recharged

accomplished by applying a reverse electric.....

current through the battery

Recharging occurs when the chemicals

perform another series of reactions to take them back to their original state.

People often use a common set of terms when talking about a battery’s voltage

capacity, current sourcing capability and so on.

A cell refers to a single anode and cathode separated

electrolyte used to produce

A battery can be made up of one or more cells...

A single AA battery

Primary cells contain chemistry that cannot be reversed....

As a result, the battery must be thrown away

As a result, the battery must be thrown away

Secondary cells can be recharged and have their chemistry reverted back to their original state.

Otherwise known as “rechargeable batteries
