+ - Electric Battery The battery converts chemical energy to electrical energy. It is a source of potential difference or voltage. This is used to drive electrons “downhill” through a conductor (resistor)
Electric Current and Ohm’s Law I = Q / t current = charge / time V = I R voltage = current x resistance
28.1 EMF and Voltage V = ɛ - I r r is the “hidden” internal resistance of the battery.
