A battery works by converting chemical energy into an electrical charge. Electrolytes let ions move between the positive terminal and the negative terminal, which makes the electrical current flow.

What is the name of liquid in batteries?

electrolyte When electrodes are placed in an electrolyte and a voltage is applied, the electrolyte will conduct electricity. In batteries, two metals with different electron affinities are used as electrodes; electrons flow from one electrode to the other outside of the battery, while inside the battery the circuit is closed by the electrolyte's ions. Here the electrode reactions convert chemical energy to electrical energy.


What is the difference between flame and heat?

"Flame" is the visible energy when burning something. "Heat" is given off a flame and countless other things. Flame produces heat, but heat does not always generate from flame, and heat almost never produces flame (friction might count). And if you want the definitions: HEAT: a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature. FLAME: the process of combustion of materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke. If you want to think of it a different way: Flame is what you see when you look at a fire and heat if what you feel from the fire.

What form of useless energy is produced by friction?

Friction most often produces thermal (heat) energy. Other forms of energy are possible, and many of these are secondary products. And example is the appearance of light being given off by the highly heated bits of metal coming off a grinding wheel. The grinding wheel superheats the metal (friction), and the bits of metal torn off in the process come away with so much thermal energy, they glow brightly.
