32
Explain Energy Transfer
when an energy source is connected to a circuit, electrons in the conductor push, or repel other electrons nearby. as soon as one moves, all of them move
33
Define Electrochemical Cells
a batter is a combo of electrochemical cells. each cell is a package of chemicals that converts chem energy to electric energy
34
Define Electrolyte
a liquid or paste that conducts
35
Define Wet Cell
a liquid electrolyte (cars)
36
Define Dry Cell
a paste electrolyte (flashlight)
37
Define Electrode
metal strips that react with the electrolyte
38
Define Terminals
end points in a cell or battery where we make a connection
39
Define Fuel Cell
an electrochemical cell that generates electricity from a chemical reaction
