How Batteries Work - Battery electricity working principle

This channel is golden.

This is a diferent mecanism forom the galvanic cell right?

now I fully understand why as a kid I used to bite the batteries to get a lil extra 20 mins of power for my gameboy

I studied 7 years of engineering in electronics n learnt new today that I never knew❤

Im about to stay up all night binging the crap outa this channe huh?

Cathode is neg ...😄

How the HELL did they figure all this shit out without lighting, refrigeration, transportation, etc? It’s 2024 and I feel like I can’t even get my hands on the necessary equipment and material to try an experiment like that. But somehow back in the 1800s they were able to gain enough knowledge and survive long enough to figure this shit out. HOW?!? Buddy threw a bunch of plates in a brine solution and just changed the world real quick? Like wtff bro. So hard to wrap my head around.

At 2.17 you say positiive end of the battery is called Cathode. But the positive end is called Anode. Negetive end is called the Cathode.

Wait that's not how it is, first the zinc atom in the anode loses his electrons and turns into zinc ion by oxidation process, and the released electron moves through the external circuit to the cathode. When the electrons reaches cathode they combine with manganese dioxide and water to form manganese oxyhydroxide and hydroxide ions with reduction process. The hydroxide ions moves through the electrolyte to andoe where he combines with zinc ions to form zinc hydroxide. Isn't this the right way that the chemical reaction occurs in alkaline battery

Excellent video. As a more engineer-focused person, having a resource that can explain things like the chemical reaction that causes all this in a way that I understand is an amazing resource to have

+ is anode and - is cathode

I was taught cathode is negative and not positive according to this video likewise the anode

Electricity in a closed circuit does flow from the negative end of a battery to the positive end.

But since “flow of electricity” has always been taught the other way around….positive to negative…why? I don’t know. But we alway use the acronym PANIC….Postive Anode Negative Cathode.

So it’s always understood that the anode is the positive lead and the cathode is the negative lead.

Anyone confused yet? It’s just that I have always been taught that “electrical flow” in a closed circuit is positive (anode) to negative (cathode)

Thanks alot Sir!😍😍😍

thanks for making this video . this helps me with my homework a lot. 👍👍😄😃

Thanks,
Engineering mindset Your videos are really knowledgeable and easy to understand.
Requesting if you could make videos on all utilities/equipments installed in a data center or advancements in data center or videos providing deep knowledge of data center in various departments such as IBMS/network/HVAC/Electrical/firefighting, etc.

My battery short circuits sometimes. Are electrons negatively charged? I could write a story about how electrons are positively charged... Sometimes I have pressure inside my pipe. McKenna Hanson told me to stop the self talk, but I won't!

have you made a video about how to assemble cells into series-parallel packs?

doesnt series increase the current not voltage?
cause thats what my dad told me

Excellent explanation thanks a lot....

Positive End of battery is Anode you have mentioned it as cathode

What causes the free electrons to collect on the brass pin instead of rejoining back its ion?

SO FAST the vid's part about oxyde-reduction reactions! The most interesting part of battery's funcioning is here so fast and unclear!
What a true PITY!!!!

Anod is positive and cathode is negative 😢

Why is it out of charge if it still has a rating of 1 volt?

on what basis does the chemical reaction stops when the battery is disconnected from the circuit?

Ummmm.... the positive end is thr cathode? I remember it differently.

But the positive end is anode and negative is cathode

I use batteries for my animatronic toys though. I understand it!

Doesn’t the electrical and magnetic energy flow through slowly drifting electrons? Electrons don’t simply flow through a circuit like water right

Thanks sir I have listened you because in my class my teacher is not teaching me probably I am from India class8

I like to look at each terminal as negative = where the electrons leave from and positive= where they get added back😅

Im too dumb to understand 75% of what hes saying

The hard relisation is when you will find out the energy needed to light the incandescent bulb ( coz i can see the tungsten filament inside ) is actually coming from the electric field around the bulb and not due to the flow of electron inside the metal conductor that connects the circuit. The actual physics is much more complex than you can possibly imagine.
Facts - flow of electron inside a wire (drift velocity) is very less so flow of electron just give us a current but that current is not what lights up the bulb.
We have Poynting vector to validate that argument.
This analogy will be more complex when we connect more than one batteries one after another in a series. 😢😢

You are one of the best teachers in the world 🌎

Damn I'm watching the video again and again

one of the best videos

Wondering if you can edit or repost this to include the “salt bridge” and how that ion flow “physically” occurs during the batteries use

studied electricity, I’m now majoring in biochemistry and have learned the chemistry of electricity and batteries, and I can confidently say this is by far the best explanation of a battery hands down no question

Can someone explain when he said that the cathode has less electrons? I understand why the anode has more electrons because of oxidation, but what caused there to be negative ions on the cathode.

Great channel!
Thanks!
