electric potential energy & voltage

electrochemical cells

convert chemical energy into electrical energy

battery

electrochemical cell or multiple electrochemical cells connected together

terminals

end points of a battery where connections are made

negative terminal

end where electrons accumulate

positive terminal

end that has lost electrons

electrodes

battery terminals and the rod that connects them

electrolyte

conductive substance surrounding the electrode

dry cell

electrolyte is a moist paste

wet cell

electrolyte is a liquid

amount of voltage

dependant on type of metal in the electrode and type of electrolyte used

most batteries produce 1.5V or 2V

electric potential energy

electrical energy stored in an electrochemical cell (battery)

electric energy

moving electric energy (like through a circuit or smth) is kinetic energy

energy

the ability to do work

how electric potential energy is gained

when unlike charges are moved farther apart more electric potential energy is gained

this energy is released when the charges move towards each other and turns into kinetic energy (?)

voltage

amount of electric potential energy per coulomb of charge (yeah idk)

volt

unit of measurement for voltage

voltmeter

measures voltage between two locations of charge separation

actual electric potential energy

product of voltage and amount of charge

energy = voltage * charge

electric potential difference

voltage (idk)
