Best Answer

No it does not FORM it.

It converts chemical energy in the battery cell into electrical energy which is then passed through a thin wire called the filament at the bulb. The filament lights up when electricity passes through it, thus giving out light.

What are different about car and flashlight batteries?

Automobile batteries are STORAGE batteries. They do not make electricity, but store electricity made by something else (usually the alternator in the automobile) until it is needed. MOST flashlight batteries MAKE electricity by a chemical reaction, cannot be recharged, and are used up. (Exception is a rechargeable flashlight battery, such as Ni-Cads) Car batteries also have several cells inside one container, but each flashlight battery is a single cell. Car batteries store much more electrical current than is found in a single flashlight battery. They are also a LOT heavier- imagine carrying a flashlight with a 40 pound battery!
