Batteries make electricity by a chemical reaction. Eventually the reaction completes and the battery is said to have run down or gone dead. A car's alternator or generator charges the battery by reversing the reaction while the engine is running.

How can lemon batteries be used to generate electricity?

Lemon batteries can generate electricity by using the acid in the lemon as an electrolyte and the metal in the electrodes as conductors. When the electrodes are inserted into the lemon, a chemical reaction occurs that creates a flow of electrons, generating a small amount of electricity. Multiple lemon batteries can be connected in series to increase the voltage and power output.


Why are lead wires used to generate electricity?

Sorry, leads do not generate electricity. Leads are just the wires that connect the parts of a circuit together.Generators, alternators, batteries, solar cells, fuel cells, friction electrostatic machines, and thunderstorms generate electricity.


Why don't we get most of our electricity from batteries?

Batteries store electricity but they do not generate it. Most of our electricity comes from power plants that convert various energy sources (such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, or renewable sources like solar and wind) into electrical energy. Batteries are typically used for storing and supplying smaller amounts of electricity or for backup power in case of outages.


How do you get electricity on the moon?

One way to generate electricity on the moon is through solar power. Solar panels can be used to convert sunlight into electricity. Another option is to bring a nuclear power source, such as a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, to the moon to generate electricity.

What does a battery use to make electricity?

Batteries do not generate electricity; they only store a charge that is generated elsewhere. After that charge is used up, they need to be recharged or replaced.


How batteries produce electricity?

Batteries do not produce electricity, they only store electricity.


What gives off electricity?

Various materials can generate electricity through processes like friction (triboelectric effect), chemical reactions (batteries), or electromagnetic induction (generators). Common sources include metal wires, semiconductors, and electrolytes in batteries.
