How Do Batteries Work? A Simple Explanation

The concept of a battery is based on the movement of negative and positive charges, or electrons and protons, respectively. A battery consists of two cups, one with negative circles or electrons and the other with positive circles or protons, placed in a metal cylinder. A chemical reaction takes place inside the battery, causing the negative circles or electrons to be drawn to the cup with the positive circles or protons. To travel this path, the electrons need a "staircase," which is an electrical device that is connected to, for example, a light bulb.

As soon as the cup with the negative circles or electrons runs out, the battery is dead. However, if the battery is rechargeable, it can be connected to electricity, and the power grid takes excess positive circles or protons and adds them to the cup with negative circles or electrons. This process allows the battery to be used again.

Overall, the principle behind how a battery works is relatively simple, with the movement of charges driving the flow of electricity.

Wow that was a rly simple explanation thankx!

This is actually a cool explanation video.

Phone: Hey, my electrons are low, can you charge me?

@quadrotoon u should make videos like this.

I have a question, how can protons be independent of their atoms? Are you trying to show anions in the place of "protons"? Are they just atoms that are ionized with ionizing radiation?*
