Battery Voltage
|

Java via CheerpJ:
We've partnered with Leaning Technologies to allow our Java sims to run in a browser.
This sim is not compatible with iPads.

Java Version:
Supports offline use and offers improved performance.
Topics
- Voltage
- Batteries
- Electrons
Description
Look inside a battery to see how it works. Select the battery voltage and little stick figures move charges from one end of the battery to the other. A voltmeter tells you the resulting battery voltage.
Sample Learning Goals
- Do the small blue spheres represent positive or negative charges?
- Which side of the batterey is labeled positive, and which side is negative?
- How can you determine which side of the battery is positive and negative just by the location of the blue charges?
