Battery Parts Electrode: metal strip that collects electric charges. Electrolyte (acid): a liquid or paste that conducts electricity. Terminal / Pole: end of an electrode
3
Wet Cell Battery Contains copper + and zinc – electrodes Liquid electrolyte (sulfuric or nitric acid) Example: car, motorcycle, boat battery Wet Cell Works: Zinc electrode and acid electrolyte chemical reaction Electrons collect on zinc electrode - Copper electrode becomes + Connecting wire to terminals, electrons move from negative to positive
