A _____ is a group of connected cells.
____ are atoms that have lost or gained electrons.
In an electric cell, the _____ is a weak solution of acid base or salt in water.
The _____ in an electric cell are two strips of metal; the negative one is made of lead, and the positive one is made of lead dioxide.
Cells can be classified as either ____ cells or ____ cells.
____ cells contain a liquid electrolyte (usually dilute sulfuric acid)) and produce a little over 2 V.
____ contain an electrolyte in paste form. In the common flashlight cell, the electrolyte is ammonium chloride paste. The typical cell of this type produces 1.5 V.
Some cells use up their charge quickly and can't be recharged. these cells are called _____ cells. (most cells are this type)
Cells that can be recharged are called _____ cells or _____ cells. The electrodes and the electrolyte can be recharged (restored) in this type of cell.
A cell is _____ by passing current through the cell in the direction opposite to the discharge current.
Cells can be connected in ____, ____, or _______, depending on the needs of the circuit.
When cells are connected in _____, they produce higher ~voltage~ than a single cell can produce.
When cells are connected in _____, they produce greater ~current~ (amps) than a single cell can produce.
When cells are connected in _____, they provide higher ~voltage~ and higher ~current~ (amps).
A _____ is an instrument for measuring voltage.
When cells are connected in ____, the positive terminals are connected to each other and the negative terminals are connected to each other. The voltage stays the same, but the current (amps) increases.
When cells are connected in ____, the positive and negative are connected to their opposite charge (positive connects to negative vice versa). The current (amps) stays the same, but the voltage increases.
An _____ is an instrument used to measure current in a circuit in amperes.
A _____ battery consists of two groups of four cells connected in series. The two groups of series-connected cells are then connected in parallel at the two ends.
In _____ connected cells, the voltage of the entire battery is equal to the voltage of one of the groups of cells, and the current is equal to the sum of the current of the all cells.
