Here blue particles represent the flow of water, moving as electrons do through a circuit to create electricity. The rate of water flow, defined as the volume of the fluid moving past a certain point in a fixed amount of time, is comparable to the rate of charge passing a point in a circuit (electric current), which is measured in amperes (coulombs/second). pdboyer Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:54:33 GMT http://www.howstuffworks.com/battery.htm/printable Ba­tteries are all over the place -- in our cars, our PCs, laptops, portable MP3 players and cell phones. A battery is essentially a can full of chemicals that produce electrons. Chemical reactions that produce electrons are called electrochemical reactions. In this article, you'll learn all about batteries -- the basic concept at work, the actual chemistry going on inside a battery, rechargeable versions, what the future holds for batteries and possible power sources that could replace them. pdboyer Sun, 10 Oct 2010 17:55:27 GMT
