How does electric current in a electric cell passes?
From the Positive terminal (+ve) to the negative terminal (-ve).
Why is it necessary that an electron returns to the positive terminal of the battery each time another electron leaves the negative terminal?
Electrons are negatively charged, and so are attracted to the positive end of a battery and repelled by the negative end. So when the battery is hooked up to something that lets the electrons flow through it, they flow from negative to positive.
What do you call the electrode connected to negative terminal of a cell?
The negative terminal is called the anode
Do electrons flow from the positive to the negative terminal of a wet cell?
Electrons have a negative charge. For that reason, electrons will always flow in the opposite direction of the current, which flows from positive to negative. Electrons will therefore move from a negative terminal to a positive terminal when we look at the load on a cell. Within the cell, the electrons will flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
What are normally open and close circuits?
The electric path which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery ends at its negative terminal, without any break, is called closed electric circuit or complete electric circuit. The electric path,which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery, is broken at some point, is called open electric circuit or incomplete electric circuit.
How do you make a cheap physics working model on electric circuits?
take a battery or cell,two wires, a small bulb.connect the wires with cell,one on positive terminal and second on negative terminal and other sides of wires with the bulb.the bulb will glow
How are electric charges produced?
Charges are produced due to a source providing some energy. e.g cell. Firstly source creates potential difference between terminals and due to this electron at negative end of the terminal move towards positive terminal. In contrast, conventional current flows from positive to negative. In AC circuit electron stay at same place and just vibrate and energy is just passed around the circuit.
How do dry cell batterys work?
when it works it has copper sulfate solution inside the wet cell battery which takes the electrodes from the negative terminal (-) to the positive terminal (+).
What is the direction of flow of current in a cell?
Current doesn't flow inside the cell. The cell is used to push current through an external circuit. The so-called "conventional" current flows out of the positive terminal of the cell, through the circuit, and back into the negative terminal of the cell. The confusing truth is that the actual physical carrier of current is the electron, which carries a negative charge. So the things that are actually moving and carrying the current through the circuit leave the dry cell from its negative terminal, physically flow through the circuit, and end up at the cell's positive terminal.

In a dry cell the carbon rod releases electrons and becomes the positive or negative terminal?
In a dry cell, the carbon rod is the positive terminal, or anode.
What is carbon rod connected to the negative terminal of the battery?
The negative terminal of a carbon/zinc cell is connected to the zinc cup that functions as the cathode. The carbon rod is the anode (positive).
