What do electric cells do

convert chemical energy into electrical energy

When is mechanical advantage increased by a first class lever

when the fulcrum is close to the load

What does conservation of charge mean

charges can not be created or distroyed

How can power be increased

by decreasing time needed to do work or increasing the amount of work done

On A+ the answer is by decreasing time needed to do work"Power is energy per unit time." You can increase it or generate more energy by working harder. You can also increase it by working faster.

How do devices that are powered by electricity work

The devices increase resistance.

What types of magnets are harder to magnetize but retain magnetism much longer
