The positive electrode in a battery is where oxidation occurs, releasing electrons. The negative electrode is where reduction occurs, accepting electrons. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the device.

Should I use the negative or positive cable to jump start the starter?

You don't, you connect to the battery from the battery of another car. Use the positive cable to connect the two positive electrodes and the negative to connect the two negative electrodes.


What is a battery end called?

Electrodes... Positive (anode) and Negative (cathode) electrodes which are attached to the terminals. The electrodes provide the chemical energy which is converted to a flow of electrons. And the electrolyte, the electrolyte separates the electrodes but allows for the passages of electrons and ions for the electro-chemical reaction of the electrodes.


What is the mechanism behind the functioning of a lithium-ion battery?

A lithium-ion battery works by moving lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes, creating a flow of electrical energy. When the battery is charged, lithium ions are stored in the negative electrode. When the battery is discharged, the ions move to the positive electrode, generating electricity.


What type of stored energy does a battery contain?

A battery stores chemical energy that is converted into electrical energy when needed. This chemical energy is generated through the reaction between the battery's positive and negative electrodes.

What would happen if there was only positive electrodes in a circuit?

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.


How do dry cell batterys work?

when it works it has copper sulfate solution inside the wet cell battery which takes the electrodes from the negative terminal (-) to the positive terminal (+).


Does energy flow through the negative or positive of a battery?

Energy flows from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a battery.


Why are the negative pole and positive pole terminals close in the nickel cadmium battery?

The negative and positive terminals in a nickel-cadmium battery are placed close together to reduce the internal resistance of the battery. This design ensures efficient flow of electrons between the electrodes and facilitates a quicker discharge/recharge process.
