How does the electrolyte work so that a battery can produce electricity?
Wiki User

The electrolyte corrodes one (or both, depending on the cell chemistry) of the electrodes, resulting in an imbalance of charge on those electrodes and when the circuit is completed externally a current flow.

How does the potato battery work?
potato battery do not directly produce electricity. The chemical composition of the potato when combined with zinc in metals together with copper is what causes a reaction between the released positively charged and negatively charged ions of the potato resulting in the flow of electricity.
How does wind make electricity?
Turbines actually make the electricity wind, water, and other recources do the work of turning the generators to produce the electricity.
Can a cucumber fruit extract be able to produce electricity?
Yes. Electricity will be produced wherever two different metals are immersed in an electrolyte. In this case, the fruit or vegetable juice acts as the electrolytic solution that allows ionic motion. Lemons and Potatoes are well known fruits and vegetables that work as a battery and a cucumber has much of the same properties. To ensure the best result, make sure you use a zinc and a copper wire to plug into the cucumber. Other metals will work and you can find lists which give information about which metal are most dissimilar. This is called a galvanic series.
Is a flat battery a conductor of electricity?
well, yes. It conducts electricity from one lead to the other. Shape has no effect on the battery other than how its made. So you must be thinking of a simple battery cell process, otherwise this would be a silly question. In a simple battery cell, even if your battery was as thin as a piece of paper it would still work but just with very little electricity. So it would have to be as thin as a shadow, meaning two dimensional instead of three dimensional to not conduct electricity.
How does the conductometer work?
conductometer measures the conductivity of electrolyte in which it is placed by measuring the conductivity of the dissociated ions of the electrolyte.
How do the chemicals work in a battery?
Batteries convert chemical energy into electricity. Batteries are made up of one or more separate sections, or cells, containing a chemical called an electrolyte.
3 things a battery needs to work?
Electrolyte, anode, and cathode.
Can a battery still work with a crack?
Yes as long as it is just a surface crack and no battery electrolyte is escaping.
How does a Baghdad battery work?
A baghdad battery works with an electrolyte solution , an iron rod , and a copper cylinder.
How does a torch work using the energy from a battery?
because of the electricity in the battery
Can you produce electricity out of apple and pineapple?
Highly acidic fruits produce electricity because they contain electrolytes. Electrolytes work with the electrodes to produce electricity. Oranges and lemons are examples of fruits with electrolytes.
Why is a battery has a chemical reaction?
chemical reaction produce electricity in the battery because the chemical contains negative charges and the bar or rod that goes through the battery contains positive charges so when they mix together they make electricity. when the charges are weak they stop making electricity or they don't make any contact with each other any more so they don't produce electricity anymore and people say that the battery dies out.
Does computer work without electricity?
no you cannot turn it on without electricity or some type of battery but, no it wont work
Will electricity flow through fruits?
yes because the anode cathode and electrolyte work together to make a current and allows electricity to flow through the fruit.
How electricity can help the laptop?
Any computer needs electricity to work. Laptop computers have an internal battery that powers the computer when you are away from your work desk. If you are return to your work desk or the battery is running out of charge you can still attach the laptop computer to mains electricity.
How does a battery clock work?
it runs on battery electricity that powers the clock at makes it tick/the hand move
What is a battery for?
A battery is a piece of electricity that starts a bulb, toy, e.t.c. It also has tons of electricity things to work on. If you go to school you'll learn about batteries.
