In most cases, chemical energy stored in the battery produces the electric current. Rechargeable batteries are capable of taking electric currents and using them to reverse the chemical reactions, thus gaining more chemical energy that can be used readily.

Where does electricity get energy?

An electric current HAS energy. The energy comes from whatever caused the electric current to flow in the first place - for example, a generator, or a battery.


The current in an electric motor comes from?

Power plants (fueled by elements) produce the electrical energy that circuits to an outlet that you can charge an electric motor with a plug that is wired to an electric motor. Or if it is a vehicle with an electric motor, you electrically charge car batteries that produce the current to the electric motor.


What device is used to convert chemical energy to electrical energy?

A battery or a fuel cell converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy


What changes chemical energy into electric energy?

Chemical energy can be converted to electrical energy through a process called electrochemical reaction. In a battery, this reaction occurs within the cell to generate electric current. The chemical reactions inside the battery produce electrons that flow through a circuit, creating electrical energy.


What is a temporary source of electric current?

A battery is a common temporary source of electric current. When connected to a circuit, a battery transforms stored chemical energy into electrical energy to power devices or equipment. Once the stored energy is depleted, the battery needs to be recharged or replaced to continue providing electric current.


What device produces an electric current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy?

A battery produces an electric current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The chemical reactions inside the battery drive the flow of electrons through an external circuit, generating electricity.


Device that produces an electric current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy?

A battery is a device that produces an electric current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. This process involves the movement of ions between electrodes within the battery, generating a flow of electrons through a circuit.


What is a temporary source of an electric current called?

A temporary source of an electric current is called a battery. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy to power devices or circuits.


Can an electromagnet produce electric energy?

No, an electromagnet generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it but it does not produce electric energy on its own. Electric energy is typically produced by generators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.


Is a battery considered electricity?

The battery is not electricity. A battery is a device that stores energy in the form of chemical energy. When energy is taken out of the battery, it comes out in the form of electrical energy. And if the battery is rechargable, then energy is put into it also in the form of electrical energy. A2. There is sometimes a confusion, amongst non-technical people when discussing electrical items. A distinction is made between an AC mains operated device and a battery operated device. Calling the mains device 'electric' and the other 'battery'. A battery operated device is also 'electric', The current is DC and the voltage usually a lot lower (and safer) than the domestic supply. So yes. A battery operated device is electric. Batteries do produce electricity.


What form of energy does the battery produce?

Batteries produce energy using a chemical reaction with electrolytes


How do solar cells produce energy?

In short, the light (electromagnetic energy) shining on the solar cell is converted directly to electric charge (potential energy). The increase in the electric charge can promote the flow of electric current in an external circuit, in much the same way as an ordinary electrical battery would.
