WORKING OF BATTERY: A battery consists of two metal plates (electrodes) and a chemical (electrolyte). The electrolyte (chemical) between the two metal plates consists of positive and negative ions which move in opposite directions The electrolyte exerts a certain force on these ions and makes them move in a specified direction. Let us call this force as a chemical force (Fc). Depending upon the nature of the chemical, positive ions move towards one of the plates and accumulate on that plate. As a result of this accumulation of charges on this plate it becomes positively charged (called anode). Negative ions move in a direction opposite to the motion of positive ions and accumulate on the other plate. As a result of this the plate becomes negatively charged (called cathode). This accumulation of different charges on respective plates continues till both plates are sufficiently charged. But the ions in motion experience another force , when ...
