• Lesson 2

• THREE MAIN COMPONENTS OF A BATTERY

• Negative terminal – (zinc) – accumulates negative charge (gains electrons).

• Positive terminal – (copper) – accumulates positive charge (loses electrons).

• Electrolyte – a liquid solution or a paste whose molecules spontaneously separate into positively or negatively charged atoms or groups of atoms, called ions.

L 2

Oxidation-Reduction Reaction

The battery is assembled by putting a copper and zinc strip in a container filled with a copper sulfate solution (electrolyte). A chemical process called oxidation-reduction reaction occurs. In this reaction, the zinc electrode easily accumulates electrons; the copper electrode loses electrons. The gain or loss of electrons at an electrode is the result of chemical reactions between the electrodes and the electrolyte. This accumulation of opposite charges on the electrodes produces the electric potential of the battery. The battery’s electric potential – how much electrical energy per charge the chemical reaction generates – is measured in volts.L2

How the Battery Works

Chemical reactions at the electrodes create a current when the assembly is placed in the copper sulfate solution. At the zinc electrode, a reaction occurs in which zinc atoms lose two electrons each to the zinc strip and are converted into positively charged zinc ions that go into the solution. This conversion of metallic zinc into aqueous zinc ions gradually eats away the zinc electrode. At the copper electrode, the positive copper ions in the copper sulfate solution gain two electrons each at the copper electrode, thereby becoming neutral metallic copper that accumulates on the electrode. This movement of ions in the electrolyte creates a current in the battery.

L2

The wires that connect the light bulb to the battery provide a path for electrons released by the zinc to flow to the copper electrode. This movement of electrons creates a current in the wires and completes the circuit. As the current flows through the light bulb, the electrical energy associated with the electrons is transformed into light and heat in the bulb.

L2

VOCABULARY – LESSON 2

• In this lesson, we made a device composed of two metal electrodes in an electrolyte that transfers chemical energy into electrical energy. This device is known as a

(2) battery.

L2

VOCABULARY – LESSON 2

• This ability to do work is:

(3) energy.

L2

VOCABULARY – LESSON 2

• The battery is made of two metal strips, copper and zinc. • The zinc strip is negatively charged because it gains

electrons.• The copper strip is positively charged because it loses

electrons.• The strips are

(4) electrodes.

• Negatively-charged particles of an atom are(5) electrons.

L2

VOCABULARY – LESSON 2

• The liquid solution in the battery is an

(6) electrolyte.

• A battery with a liquid electrolyte is a

(7) wet-cell battery.

• A battery with an electrolyte made of paste is a

(8) dry-cell battery.

L2

VOCABULARY – LESSON 2• The light eventually stopped burning after being removed from the copper

sulfate solution. The chemical reaction could only generate a certain amount of electrical energy per charge. This is the

(9) electric potential of the battery.

• The electric potential of the battery is measured in(10) volts.

• Lesson 3

• Current flowing in the circuit carries energy. As the current flows through the bulb, the chemical energy stored in the battery becomes light and heat energy in the bulb. When all the battery’s available chemical energy has been converted to other forms of energy, the battery is “dead.”

L 3

• When a battery is charging, energy is being put into it. The charger runs a current “backward” through the battery, reversing the chemical processes and converting electrical energy to chemical energy, which is stored in the battery. The current is said to go backward because the flow of ions in the electrolyte is opposite to the flow when the battery is discharging and supplying electrical energy to a circuit.

L3

• The battery stores chemical energy – potential energy that is later transformed to electric potential energy. The charging process converts electrical energy to chemical energy. The chemical energy is later converted back to electrical energy, and then to light and heat in the bulb.

L3

• The cycle of charging and discharging batteries cannot continue indefinitely because of gases that escape from the cell and because of impurities in the cells. Eventually, rechargeable batteries must be replaced.

• Newton’s three laws of motion– First law of motion – (inertia) – tendency of

objects to maintain their motion when no forces act on them.

– Second law of motion – • Force = mass x acceleration

– Third law of motion – for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. (Air blows in one direction, car goes in other direction).

Vocabulary – Lesson 21

• When the car is at the top of the track, it has stored energy. This is known as(87) potential energy.

• As the car moves along the track, it has

(88) kinetic energy.

• When the car is at the highest point on the track, it has its’ largest amount of(89) gravitational potential energy.
