The driving force in circuits7th Grade ScienceHow do batteries work?The metals and the acids in a battery reactions to create electrical chargeThe reactions are a result of the chemical energy in the battery materialsThe charges moving around in the battery create electrical energyBattery voltageRemember that batteries are measured using a unit called a volt (V)More volts = more energy and more currentIf you think about it as a pump, you can say that more voltage means it can push water (charge) fasterBattery voltageBigger batteries contain more reaction materials, so they have higher voltages
