a Battery (non-rechargeable)
Une pile (La pile fournit de l’électricité grâce à une réaction chimique de ses composants. C’est une sorte de batterie qui ne se recharge pas contrairement aux accumulateurs)
a Battery (rechargable)
Une batterie (La batterie est une source d’énergie résultant de l’assemblage de plusieurs accumulateurs. Elle est systématiquement rechargeable.)

Conductor: A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it freely. All pure metals conduct electricity easily.
Un conducteur
Direct Current (DC): An electric current flowing in one direction only.
le courant continu
Dry cell battery A dry cell uses a paste inside, with only enough moisture to allow current to flow. A dry cell can operate right-side-up or upside-down without spilling, as it contains no liquid, making it suitable for portable equipment.
