If you are recharging a battery you will need to input more power than you could draw from the battery after charging, as the charging process is not 100% efficient. Most of this excess power will be lost as heat during charging.

Does electricity flow more than 1 pathway?

An electric current is usually thought of as a flow of electrons. When two ends of a battery are connected to each other by means of a metal wire, electrons flow out of one end (electrode or pole) of the battery, through the wire, and into the opposite end of the battery.


Does more power flow into a battery than out of it?

No. That would defy the point of putting the battery there in the first place.


In an electric current electricity flow how?

Electricity can flow in an electric circuit by a battery. The battery creates electrons, which flow through the wire, and then go into a light bulb. (That is how a light bulb in a circuit lights up.) A series circuit is a circuit with one wire that electrons can flow through. Also, there can be more than one light bulb connecting to the same wire. A parallel circuit is a circuit with light bulbs that have their own wire.ClarificationThe above answer, unfortunately, perpetuates the myth that current leaves a battery, and finds its way around a circuit. This is not the case at all. It is the load that 'draws' the current from the battery and it is the load that determines the size of that current.


Can you charge a 12volt battery with a 6volt charger?

NO, a 12 volt battery cannot be charged with a 6 volt charger. To charge any battery, the charging voltage has to be, at least, slightly higher than higher than the voltage of the battery. Current flowing through the battery is what accomplishes the charging, and no current will flow at or below the voltage of the battery to be charged.


What has more than one path for a current flow?

Parallel Circuit


Electric current is sometimes incorrectly defined as simply a flow of electrons What is wrong with this definition?

Electric current is the rate of flow of electrons.AnswerA more accurate definition of electric current would be that it is a flow of electric charges. While current flow in a metallic conductor is, indeed, a flow of electrons, in other conductors -such as electrolytes- current flow may be a movement of ions. So, it would be more accurate to define current in terms of charge flow, rather than in terms of electron flow.


Will any 12v battery charge work?

According to the magnitude of said current will be the time needed for charging. For there to be a current flow to the battery, the charger must provide a voltage (voltage) higher than the battery, this is the reason why we can not charge a 12V battery from another. Or at least, could not, as we shall see later.


Can current increased from two battery connections?

Two batteries can supply more current than one if they are connected in parallel.


Would a 36V 230 Ah 6hr 335 Ah 20hr traction battery charge on a DC volts24v DCamps20A battery charger?

NO, in order to 'charge' a battery, the charging device must be at a higher voltage than the battery in order for current to flow to the battery.


How can you demonstrate that a light bulb emits electrons by thermionic emission?

Edison was said to have noted this emission when a wire paralleling a light bulb filament showed current flow if the filament was more negaive than the wire, but not if the filament was more positive than the wire. Note that the wire is not touching the filament. The wire was inside the bulb with the filament. First Edison lit the bulb with a simple battery circuit. Then the wire was connected to a current meter and other terminal of the current meter to a second battery and the other end of the second battery to either end of the first battery. Depending on which way the second battery is set, the ammeter indicates an electric current flowing through the wire or not.


Why Cable gets heated when current flows more than its rated current why?

Because if the rated current is lower than the actual current, it causes resistance to the electrical flow which in turn is dispelled as heat.


Why are marshes more productive than bogs apex?

A.)marshes have more water flow because their usually connected to a larger body of water so their current and water flow is stronger than a bogs.
