Is battery a source of light?

In general, battery is source of electricity and not the heat source. However, for common use of battery, battery can be a heat source though it is not intended to be. It is because the flow of electrical current through resistance would give out heat. If your battery heat up without cause then it is suspected for the short-circuit. Over charging or oversupply of electricity would also cause the battery heat up.


What is the hypothesis for electricity?

We are long past the hypothesis stage, with regard to electricity, which is a very well understood phenomenon at this point. If you would like to know about the history of scientific investigation of electricity, there were a number of hypotheses, including the hypothesis that lightning is a form of electricity (which is true) and that nerve impulses are also a form of electricity (also true) and that electricity can be generated by some types of chemical reactions (also true) and that electricity can be used to make the Frankenstein monster come to life (not true).

What converters motion into electricity?

There are at least two general ways of doing this:move an electrical conductor through a magnetic fielduse motion to accumulate electric chargesThe first of these is exploited in dynamos for producing direct current and in generators for producing alternating current electricity. The second is mainly a curiosity that is probably best represented by the Wimshurst machine.
