Voltmeter
- device that measures the amount of potential difference between two locations of charge separation.
Wet cell
- electrolytes that take form in fluid.
Thermocouples
- consists of a loop of two wires of different metals joined at both ends, if one end is heated or cooled, charge is separated, and potential difference /voltage is created.
Electrode
- two terminals of a battery.
Terminal
- end points of a battery where connection is made.
Friction
- rubbing two materials together, work done by rubbing is converted into electrical energy stored into the separate charge.
Chemical energy
separates the positive and negative charges in a battery.
Piezoelectric crystals
- when collided against, positive and negative charges are separated on either side of crystal.
Acceleration
- increased rate or speed of something.
Potential Energy
- energy stored within an object (measured in joules)
Potential Difference
- amount of electric potential energy per one coulomb of charge.
Electrochemical Cell
- cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy stored in charges (typically called cells or batteries)
Electric Potential Energy
- electrical energy stored within a battery.
Energy that charge possesses
is dependent on amount of charge and potential difference /voltage.
