10.1 Circuits and current electricity | Energy transfer in ...
In metals, the electrons are able to move freely within the metal. ... An electric circuit needs a source of energy (a cell or battery). Cells have positive and negative terminals. A circuit is a complete pathway for electricity. ... So when we refer to a battery in circuit diagrams we need to draw two or more cells connected together.

20.1: Batteries and Simple Circuits
The Electrochemical Cell. An electric cell can be constructed from metals that have different affinities to be dissolved in acid. A simple cell, similar to that originally made by Volta, can be made using zinc and carbon as the "electrodes" (Volta used silver instead of carbon) and a solution of dilute sulfuric acid (the liquid is called the …
1.6: Batteries
This type of battery is known as a wet cell battery since it involves electrolytes in solution. Wet cells were the first known type of electrochemical cell to generate electricity. However, their application is limited since wet cells are prompted to leak problems. Most modern applications of electrochemical batteries involve dry cells.

22.2: Introduction to Energy Bands
An extension of the simple band energy diagram with only the vertical axis labelled as energy, with the horizontal axis unlabelled, is to plot the energy vertically against wave vector, k. From de Broglie''s relationship p = h k where p is momentum and h is Planck''s constant, h, divided by 2 π. Such plots therefore relate energy to momentum.

Batteries, current, and Ohm''s law
A battery is another device for storing charge (or, put another way, for storing electrical energy). A battery consists of two electrodes, the anode (negative) and cathode (positive. Usually these are two dissimilar metals such as copper and zinc. These are immersed in a solution (sometimes an acid solution).
Magnets and electricity
Metals such as copper and aluminum have electrons that are loosely held. Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current. Electricity generators essentially convert kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into electrical energy.
