How can the cell or a battery have a charges and how it is stored?? |
| Answer» There are no\xa0batteries\xa0that actually\xa0store\xa0electrical\xa0energy; all\xa0batteries store energy\xa0in some other form. ... The space between the electrodes is filled with an electrolyte--an ionic liquid that conducts electricity. One electrode--the anode--permits electrons to flow out of it. The other--the cathode--receives them. A\xa0battery\xa0is a device that stores chemical\xa0energy\xa0and converts it to electrical\xa0energy. The chemical reactions in a\xa0battery\xa0involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work. | |
