It is an oxidation/reduction reaction. Electrons flow from anode to cathode.
Nothing. The reason a circuit works is that there is an imbalance between the positive and negative (cathode and anode) ends of the battery. two positive ends wouldn't move anything.
series circuit can only move on one patha parallel circuit has two more paths for the electric carve to follow
switching on the tourch for example is when as you switch it on it will move the switch connecting it to a circuit that lights up the bulb and when you switch the switch off the switch will move breaking the circuit
It takes 31.5 joules for 12 volts to move 2.5 coulombs. Volts is joules per coulomb. The rest is just algebra, i.e. joules is coulombs times volts, 2.5 times 12 is 31.5.
The bulb will get brighter
It doesn't matter where the bulb is in respect to the battery, as long as the circuit is complete, the bulb will light up.
Nothing special should happen. What matters for the bulb is the voltage difference between its ends.
the voltage will go down when the anode and cathode are closer together but will go up when they are further apart
A battery supplies energy to move electricity through a circuit (Remember, a circuit is a wire.)
A battery
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
A battery
it gets higher
the shadow becomes bigger
No, is it incorrect to say that a battery produces the charges that circulate in a circuit. Some might suggest that a battery is a current source, but the battery should most properly be considered a voltage source. It generates the electromotive force (emf or voltage) that causes charges to move. (It does this through electrochemical reactions.) The charges that circulate in a circuit (which might be termed the current flow) are already in the conductor and components. All the battery does is produce the voltage (the force) to move charges. Let's look at current flow and see why things might be best looked at in the manner we've stated.Note that the way a battery moves charges is to "inject" an electron into the circuit where it is tied to the negative terminal of that battery. The electron causes one electron in the circuit at the terminal to "move over" and that will cause another electron to "move over" and so on. This will continue until the "last electron" in the circuit at the positive terminal of the battery leaves the circuit and "goes into" the battery. Current flow in the circuit is like musical chairs with electrons everywhere in the circuit "moving over a space" to cause the current flow.Having gone through all that, it should be easier to see why a battery probably should not be considered the producer of charges that circulate in a circuit. Rather, the battery is the source of the voltage that drives the charges (the current) in the circuit.
