That would have to be a 'wattmeter', but they're seldom available.

In terms of more readily available instruments, you'd need to use a voltmeter, reading the

battery's voltage, and an ammeter inserted in series in one of the battery's connections,

reading the current from the battery. The rate at which the battery is supplying energy

at any moment is then the product of the two meter readings.

A device which can store chemical energy is a?

A Battery.


Is a battery considered electricity?

The battery is not electricity. A battery is a device that stores energy in the form of chemical energy. When energy is taken out of the battery, it comes out in the form of electrical energy. And if the battery is rechargable, then energy is put into it also in the form of electrical energy. A2. There is sometimes a confusion, amongst non-technical people when discussing electrical items. A distinction is made between an AC mains operated device and a battery operated device. Calling the mains device 'electric' and the other 'battery'. A battery operated device is also 'electric', The current is DC and the voltage usually a lot lower (and safer) than the domestic supply. So yes. A battery operated device is electric. Batteries do produce electricity.


How does connecting an electric device to a battery produce an current in the device?

If we connect a battery to a device and complete a circuit, current will flow in that circuit and through the device. A battery (in good condition) is an electrical storage device. Most of the ones we are familiar with are chemical cells. There are chemicals inside that would like to react, but cannot unless there is an external circuit through which electrons can move to get from one electrode in the battery to the other. The potential chemical energy in a battery can be converted into electrical energy by completing that circuit. There is a force called voltagethat arises between the electrodes of the battery. And this voltage (electromotive force, or EMF) is the way that the chemical potential energy expresses itself. Because the battery can convert chemical potential energy into electricity owing to that EMF between the electrodes, connecting a circuit across the battery will allow current to flow as the chemical reactions in the battery proceed. A very rough analogy can be drawn by looking at gravitational potential energy. If a bowling ball is sitting on the floor and it is lifted onto a table, its gravitational potential energy has been increased. This is distantly similar to the chemical reactions that want to occur in the battery; they are potential energy, too. If the bowling ball rolls off the edge of the table, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy by gravity. When we hook up an external circuit to the battery, the chemical potential energy (expressed as voltage) drives electrical current through that circuit and the device in it. The circuit here is composed of conductors and the device. Electrons in the conductors are hanging around in the conduction band, and if a voltage is applied, those electrons will begin moving in response. The device must be conductive to some extent, and it, too, will have this electron current flowing through it. The battery has been connected to a circuit and drives current through that circuit. The chemical potential energy in the battery is converted into electrical energy in the circuit and the device connected to it.


Where does the energy delivered to a light bulb in a closed circuit with a battery come from?

The energy comes from the chemical activity in the battery producing electricity. Chemical activity produces energy by breaking down chemical bonds. See the link below:

Does digital camera is a example of chemical energy?

The light sensor in a digital camera, known as a Charge-Coupled Device (CCD), is photoelectric in nature and does not produce energy via chemical means. However, virtually every digital camera uses a battery to power it, which is electrochemical in nature, producing electricity from chemical energy stored in the battery's cells.


Can you charge battery by mechanical energy?

No. There are, indeed, ways to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, but a battery is not usually designed to do this. You can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy by another device, but the battery itself has to be charged by electricity.
