I. ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to demonstrate how batteries work. Batteries may seem a little magical, but they are not. A battery actually is just a container of chemicals that react together to produce a flow of electrons, which is what an electrical current really is. A battery has two terminals, one positive and one negative. They are usually marked by plus and minus signs, so you can tell which is which. After the battery is assembled, a multimeter / voltmeter can be used to check the generated voltage.
In order for a more visible effect to be produced, a few orange cells connected in series can be used to power a standard LED (Light Emitting Diode). Flashlight bulbs are generally not used because the orange battery cannot produce the amount of current required to light such bulbs. You will learn that the way the orange battery cells are made and connected with each other will determine if you can generate enough voltage and current to power a LED bulb. Batteries made with different electrode materials, like copper, nickel, or zinc might produce different voltages. Batteries with different electrode shapes or surface areas might have different internal resistances.

A battery is an electronic device that changes chemical energy into electrical energy. The chemical energy is sort of like the energy in the food we eat. When we want to run or jump, our bodies change
