What flows through wires that are hooked to a battery?
Electrons flow through wires that are hooked to a battery. The battery's negative terminal repels the electrons, while the positive terminal attracts them.
Do electrons leave a battery through the plus terminal?
false. no
From which terminal of a battery are electrons pushed?
electrons come from the negative terminal, then goes around the complete circuit (clockwise) and comes back to the positive terminal. hope that helps!
Conducor in a battery that collects or emits electrons?
In a battery, or voltaic pile, the negative terminal or wire, called the anode, emits electrons in an electrical circuit. The other terminal, called the cathode, collects electrons in an electrical circuit.
The potential difference of a battery depends on having an excess number of electrons at the negative terminal and a deficient number of electrons at the positive terminal?
That is true but not very - the excess of electrons at the negative terminal is small. The important thing is that if you place a load (radio set, light bulb etc.) on the battery the electrons flow through the load and this movement is supported by energy supplied by chemical action in the battery.
What is the positive terminal of the battery called?
It is called the positive + terminal or post, just like you list. Electrons flow for the negative - to the + terminal contrary to popular belief.Another AnswerAs electrons flow through the external circuit from anode (negative terminal) to the cathode (positive terminal) , then the answer is 'cathode'.
What form of energy flows through a copper wire connecting the two ends of battery?
Electrical Energy. When a copper wire is connected to two ends of battery, the electrons on the -ve terminal (with excess of electrons) move to +ve terminal (electron deficit terminal) to maintain an equlilbrium, hence the energy created by these movement of 'electrons' is called 'electrical' energy
What does the positive side of the battery do?
When connected to the cable which normally runs to the starter it completes the circuit. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
True or false it is impossible for the electrons in a battery to travel form the positive to negative terminal?
false
Why is it necessary that an electron returns to the positive terminal of the battery each time another electron leaves the negative terminal?
Electrons are negatively charged, and so are attracted to the positive end of a battery and repelled by the negative end. So when the battery is hooked up to something that lets the electrons flow through it, they flow from negative to positive.
What is five letter word for terminal of a cell or battery that electrons return to after losing energy in a circut?
Anode
How do you know which way the electrons travel in standard cell notation?
In an ordinary electrical cell (commonly called a battery) the electrons will travel from the -ve terminal through the circuit to the +ve terminal. [Hope I understood your question.]
