What is one way you can store chemical energy.?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be saved in various forms. One way to store it is in the form of chemical energy in a battery. When connected in a circuit, a battery can produce electricity. If you look at a battery, it will have two ends -- a positive terminal and a negative terminal. If you connect the two terminals with wire, a circuit is formed. Electrons will flow through the wire and a current of electricity is produced. Inside the battery, a reaction between the chemicals takes place. But reaction takes place only if there is a flow of electrons. Batteries can be stored for a long time and still work because the chemical process doesn't start until the electrons flow from the negative to the positive terminals through a circuit
Why does electricity flow through salt water?
The salt is ionic and this means that the electricity can flow because if the presence of the charged particles in solution.
What is the ability of a substance to slow down electrical current?
For starters, let's define the "flow" of electricity. There are several terms people might use to discuss electricity and it's flow. The term voltage only describes the potential energy that can flow, much like water contained in a storage tank above ground. Another term used is current. Current is the kinetic or actual flow of electric energy from one point in a circuit to another. The control of the flow of electricity is accomplished many different ways, I will keep my discussion in the realm of home electricity since it is the area this question was posted in. The switch is the simplest and most discrete method of controlling current, but it is only on or off with no in-between state. The other possibilities are controlling current only to a limited pre-determined rate, such as 20 amps, this is accomplished by a circuit breaker or fuse. To have a variable control over current flow you might use a dimmer control or something similar. There are other means to slow-down current flow in the world of electronics, this discussion gets much deeper and is beyond the scope of my answer here. I do hope this is helpful.
How is hydrogen used to make electricity?
The process is essentially the reverse of the electrolytic method of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. In the fuel cell, the cathode terminal is positively charged and the anode terminal is negatively charged. These electrodes are separated by a membrane. Hydrogen gas is converted into electrons and protons (positive hydrogen ions) at the anode. The protons pass through the membrane to the cathode, leaving behind negatively charged electrons. This creates a flow of direct current electricity between the terminals when connected with an external circuit. This current can power an electric motor placed in this circuit. The hydrogen ions, electrons, and oxygen combine at the cathode to form water, the only byproduct of the process.
What chemical energy form from electron flow?
Well, Chemical energy is not formed by the flow of electron. The flow of electrons is responsible for the generation of electricity. It is not possible to store electrical energy in its original form. So this electrical energy is stored in the form of chemical energy in case of a battery (Electrical energy is stored in the chemicals of a battery thus converting into chemical energy.) Therefore, Electron flow generates only electricity and no chemical energy is formed.
Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is?
if an electric circuit has potential difference. Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is closed.
A series circuit is:?
A circuit in which electricity only has 1 path to flow.
Which type of circuit has only ONE way for electricity to flow?
series circuit
What elements allow electricity to pass through?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.
How electricity flows?
Electricity flows through wires. Negatively charged atoms will jump to positively charged atoms. They all jump really fast and it causes flow. Electricity flows only in A. An open circuit. B. A closed circuit. C. A magnet D. An incomplete circuit
What is a continuous path along which electricity flows is known as an electric what?
Electric current can flow through a continuous path which can also be described as a closed circuit. Conversely, any break or opening in a circuit is called an open circuit. Charges can only flow through a closed circuit.
Will a circuit work without a switch?
Yes a circuit will work without a switch but the only problem will be is that electricity will be wasted and there will be no device to stop the flow of current
What is the difference between a series and parallel circuit?
because the series has only one path that electricity flows and parallel circuit has one or more pathways that electricity can flow
Can electricity flow through a parallel circuit?
'Electricity' is the name given to a branch of science; it is NOT a quantity. So your question should read, 'How does an electric current flow through a parallel circuit?'The answer is that a parallel circuit is made up of two or more individual 'branches'. The sum of the currents flowing through each branch is the value of the current being drawn from the supply by the complete circuit.
What are some things about electricity?
It only flows through a closed circuit.
Something that will not let electricity flow through it?
Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.
Something that will not let electricity flow through it is a?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. Bad conductor of current, or an insulator.
