A device used in electric circuits to store and distribute voltage.
The Main Idea
A battery is a device that is commonly used in circuits to distribute a voltage through the circuit's path. The battery uses a chemical reaction to produce a potential difference between the positive and negative terminals. The voltage is produced by the work done on charges inside the battery. Batteries can technically referred to as electrochemical cells, and more specifically voltaic cells(because of their nature to produce an external potential difference). When talking about circuits, the potential difference(or voltage) produced by batteries is often referred to as EMF(electromotive force).
A Mathematical Model
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
