“Animal electricity”

Galvanic Cells
Alessandro Volta showed that chemical reactions
between metal electrodes and an
electrolytic fluid can induce electrical current.

Voltaic Piles and Batteries
Reactions in some batteries can be
reversed to recharge the battery.
Dry cell batteries – “safe” and “portable”

Batteries and Electrical Current
• Electrical current– Flow of charged particles– Symbol: I – Units: Coulombs/second (C/s)
• Voltage– the difference in electrical charge between two
points in a circuit (electrical “pressure”)– Symbol: V– Units: volts (V)
• Battery– Converts chemical energy to kinetic energy
(energy of flowing charges)

Electric Circuits
• Electric circuit– Unbroken path of material carrying electricity– Electrical conductor
• Circuit components1. Source2. Closed path3. Device to use electrical energy
• Ohm’s Law– Current is directly proportional to voltage V and inversely
proportional to resistance R – In symbols: I = V / R
• Electric Power: P = I × V
