a battery always produces a direct current.the electrons always travel from the negetiove to the positive terminal.But the direction of the current is the opposite that is from the positive to the negetive terminal.

What type of current will a circit that involves a battery and electrons traveling in one direction have?
That is DC - direct current.
What is current in the battery called?
A battery contains a charge of electrons. When these electrons leave the battery and travel through a circuit that is described as current.
How do batteries change chemical energy into electric energy?
There are many chemical combinations that can be used to make batteries. The trick is to use a combination of chemicals in which the chemicals themselves do not have to be adjacent. One half of the battery involves an oxidation reaction. This releases electrons that flow out thru the wiring. The other half of the battery involves reduction, a reaction in which the excess electrons returning to the battery are used to form a new ionic substance. When not connected thru external wiring the reaction slows, almost stops, that is when the battery has potential energy, the potential to release the electrons and do work.
Electrons can move through objects.?
yes they can move through inanimate objects.
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.

Describe how a battery causes electrons to move in a circuit?
The electrons don't actually move the electricity; the charge moves. The electrons slowly drift in the opposite direction from the charge.
Where do the electrons come from in the circuit?
In a battery, the chemical reaction supplies excess electrons.

Electrons consumed in a battery?
No. Electrons are not consumed in a battery. For every electron that goes in one end of a battery, the battery pushes another electron out the other end.
Is cable electricity different from battery electricity?
In general, cable electrons don't get along with battery electrons... electrons are electrons; it doesn't matter if they're in a cable, or a battery, they are the same. Batteries are always DC, but the electricity flowing through a cable does not necessarily have to be - it can be AC.
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.
How you can indicate the current direction in the network?
If we go for the diagramatic representation then battery positive is represented by the long terminal and battery negative is represented by the short terminal then the direction of the current is given by an arrow from positive terminal to negative terminal (Therotically electrons flow from negative to positive but we represent current flow from positive to negative. This is the sign convention )
What happens when there is a balance of electrons at both ends of a battery?
the battery will no longer work.
Are there protrons netrons and electrons inside a battery?
There are protons, neutrons, and electrons inside everything that you can touch. If you provide a path for them outside the battery, electrons will flow from the battery's negative terminal to the positive one, and supply some energy on the way that you can use to run things or heat things with.
Conductor in a battery that collects or emits electrons?
zinc
