QuarkQuarkQuark2001 Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 One day, when I use my electronic dictionary, a warning window came out to remind and warn me the voltage of the battery is not available, not enough for further using. Then I think, electrons of which atom is being pushed? Is it that the electrons of the circuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Huh? What atoms where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I think hes talking about his laptop? The battery of his laptop got low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarkQuarkQuark2001 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 How about some electronic appliance, where electrons from that the voltage from the batteries push? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossoi Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Does he mean "How do electrons move in a conducter carrying a current?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 in a simple battery a chemical reaction takes place between 2 conducting materials, each material has what`s known as an Electrode Potential, some materials are positive and some are negatively charged due to the nature of their electron count and configuration. when these 2 different materials react they create a flow of current as they try to neutralise each other, we can then use this current to make electrical things work. but when the 2 materials in the battery are worn out and done all the reacting they can, the current flow stops, and so does your electrical item. I`ve kept this as simple as possible, hope it helps explain it a little though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Close, but not quite right, there are 2 electrodes in any single battery cell. the appliance that uses this battery power may have many electrodes or rather conductors (like wire) in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
