How do Batteries Work? (With Narration) | Mocomi Kids

mocomi.com/ presents: How do batteries work?
You use them to power a range of appliances at home. You also find them in many of your remote controlled gadgets. Watch this video to learn about that battery that powers your remote controlled car, the TV remote or even your PSP.
See what goes into its making and how everything comes together to give you that power with the help of this animated learning module for kids.
A dry cell is a common type of battery used today. It basically converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy.
In the most basic terms, a battery cell is made up of three components:
- An anode (negative charge)
- A cathode (positive charge)
- and the electrolyte
In the dry cell, Zinc is the anode (-), the graphite core is the cathode (+) and Ammonium Chloride paste acts as an electrode.
Due to a chemical reaction within the battery the anode builds up an excess of electrons. This causes an electrical difference between the anode and the cathode. The electrons want to rearrange themselves and displace the extra electrons in the cathode. However, the electrolyte ensures the electrons cannot travel directly to the cathode.
When the circuit is closed (with the help of a “conductive path” between the anode and cathode), the electrons are able to travel to the cathode. This, in turn provides power to any appliance placed along the way.
This is how the batteries work.
