Changes chemical energy into electrical energy?

A alternator or generator charging a battery.


What happens to the total current provided by the battery as more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit?

The total current provided by the battery increases as more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit. This is because each branch in a parallel circuit receives the full voltage of the battery, leading to more current flowing through each branch as more loads (bulbs) are added.


What part of an electrical cicuit produces the electric current?

Either the cell e.g. a battery, if one is included in the circuit. Or a generator such as a dynamo


What is the scientific defnition for battery?

A battery is a device that produces electricity through electrochemical reactions that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. It typically consists of one or more electrochemical cells connected in series or parallel to provide the desired voltage and current capacity.


Where in the gizmo and in real life do the following energy conversions occur chemical to thermal to electrical current?

In a gizmo, the energy conversion from chemical to thermal usually occurs in a battery where the chemical energy is converted to heat. The thermal energy then powers a generator to produce electrical current through electromagnetic induction, completing the conversion chain. In real life, this process is seen in everyday appliances like smartphones or laptops where the battery provides electrical energy by converting chemical energy into heat and then electricity.

What is a reversing relay?

A reverse current relay prevents a generator from discharging the battery when generator output is less than battery voltage. When generator output is greater than battery voltage, the reverse current relay closes and connects generator to electrical bus.

How do you connect volt meter in battery charger?

To measure voltage be in parallel with the battery. Series would measure current. Parallel measures potential.


Does a battery last longer in a series or parallel circuit?

A battery doesn't see a series or parallel circuit. It just supplies the current that is demanded by the load be it a series or parallel load. Visualize that a single load across a battery is both a series and parallel load to the battery.


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 is a curcuit?

A circuit is the path that transmits electric current.A circuit includes a battery or a generator that gives energy to the charged particles .Circuits are classified according to the type of current they carry that is parallel circuit and series circuit.


What is an energy source for a DC current?

An energy source commonly used for DC current is a battery. A battery generates direct current through a chemical reaction, providing a steady flow of electrons in one direction. Other sources such as solar panels can also produce DC current by converting sunlight into electrical energy.


How does a windmill charge a battery?

In order to produce electricity from any motion source (such as a windmill) you must have an electric generator to produce the power that charges the battery. The windmill supplies the motion needed to turn the generator. The generator will produce power when the windmill is powered by enough wind to turn the generator. The generator is connected to the battery and the power is stored by the battery. Usually, but not always, there is a regulator attached between the generator to shut the flow of electricity off when the battery has been sufficiently charged. This feature is used to prevent battery failure due to overcharging or at the very least extend battery life by optimizing the charge times. The regulator may also detect battery drain and will turn on the current from the generator when the battery needs charging. (assuming the windmill is powered by wind and turning) Batteries store and emit DC (direct current) and therefore usually get power directly from a generator. In some applications the windmill may generate AC (alternating current) by using an "alternator" (instead of a generator) to create power. When that type of approach is used an additional electronic device called a "rectifier" is needed to convert the AC current to DC current in order to charge batteries -- which can only be charged by Direct Current.
