A battery produces voltage through electrochemical reactions that occur within its cells. It consists of two electrodes, an anode (negative) and a cathode (positive), separated by an electrolyte. When the battery is connected to a circuit, a chemical reaction at the anode releases electrons, which flow through the circuit to the cathode, creating an electric current. The difference in electric potential between the two electrodes generates the voltage that drives this current.

Why alternator produces low voltage?

It produces from 13.5 to 15.5 volts but it produces high amperage. It only produces that voltage as that is all that is needed to recharge a 12 volt battery.


How car battery produces the power?

A battery does not produce power, it just stores power. The alternator produces the DC voltage the battery stores. As the power is taken from the battery it is replenished by the alternator.


Do batteries provide a DC voltage or an AC voltage?

Batteries produce DC because the potential difference is determined by the chemical reaction inside the battery. This voltage is constant.


How a battery makes electricity flow through a wire?

The battery provides the voltage, the voltage produces a current, according to Ohm's Law: V=IR, or I=V/R. "I" refers to the current. In terms of the individual electrons, the battery will attract electrons at one end, and repel them at the other end.


What is the name for two or more cells combined in electricity?

A battery is formed when two or more cells are connected together in electricity. Each cell produces a voltage, and when connected in series to form a battery, the voltages add up to provide a higher total voltage.


Why is the measured voltage of a battery not the same as the stated voltage?

The measured voltage of a battery may not match the stated voltage due to internal resistance, temperature, or the age and condition of the battery. These factors can lead to voltage drops when the battery is in use.


Does higher voltage mean longer battery life?

Yes The larger the battery, the more voltage the battery has.


What thing that's electric consists several cells?

A battery consists of several cells connected together to store and release electrical energy. Each cell produces a voltage, and when multiple cells are combined, their voltages add up to provide a higher total voltage.


Why does a battery charger produces a higher voltage than the battery being charged?

Battery chargers generally operate at the same voltage as the voltage as the battery they are charging. They usually vary the amperage they feed into the battery to recharge it. A trickle charger usually only feeds a few amps into a battery to recharge it slowly over time. A fast charger feeds more amps for less time to bring the battery to full charge faster. Automotive alternators are the only charging systems that I am familiar with that generate more voltage than the battery they are charging. That's because they have to run the car AND recharge the battery at the same time. Car alternators can vary their amperage and voltage outputs to allow for the varying demands of the car and all of it's electrical devices and recharge the battery as needed.


What is a source of electricity with more than one cell?

A battery is a source of electricity that contains more than one cell. Each cell produces a voltage, and when multiple cells are connected in a series, the battery generates a higher total voltage. This allows batteries to power a wide range of devices, from small electronics to vehicles.


Please explain the charging circuit in automobile. 1. How does the charging light comes on when ignition switch is turned on 2. How charging light comes on when alternator is not or less charging?

When the ignition is turned on, battery voltage passes down the wire to the alternator to 'excite' the alternator when the engine starts. When the engine starts and the alternator generates a voltage, the light is extinguised by the charging voltage cancelling out the battery voltage coming down the wire. If and when the alternator completetly fails the the light will come back on as there is no sancelling voltage. if the alternator produces a voltage lower than the voltage from the ignition switch then the battery light will glow.
