Electrochemical Cells & Batteries
For less sciency people, we would say that this is what most "A", "AAA", "C" or "D" batteries are made of ... Fortunately, we are more sciency than most, so we would say that this is what an "A", "AAA", "C" or "D cell is made from!!! The differences in these two materials used (zinc and manganese oxide) creates a potential difference of about 1.5V.
Yes, its actually a battery ... not just a single cell!!!
Watch the Disassembling a 9V Battery video to the right to see what makes this a battery, and not just a cell!
Use the ideas presented in this short video to create a battery using household items!
