Q

What is a current?

A
  1. movement of + charge over a period of time
  2. flows from high potential to low potential ( from the charges being far apart to the charge coming close together)

Q

What are batteries?

A
  1. devices that allows to ease the unusual flow od electrons, by creating a potential between the charges that otherwise wouldn’t happen
  2. Provides a emf : electron motive force is the force created by the battery to establish a potential that wouldn’t otherwise be there.
    1. make electron move from low potential to high potential ( going against the normal) flow.

Q

How does electron flow in terms of voltage?

A
  1. Electron flow from anodes to cathode and the voltage is the energy generated by the need to overcome that potential from the two ends of a system.
