A ____________________ is a device that produces an electric current by changing chemical
energy into ____________________ energy. Electric charges enter and exit it through the
____________________ at the ends. Inside, a substance that is a liquid or paste, called a(n)
____________________, conducts electricity. As long as there is a(n) ____________________
between the electrodes of a cell and there is a wire connecting them, charges will flow through
the cell and the wire, creating an electric current. We can use a(n) ____________________ to
measure the ____________________ in a cell. ____________________ shows the relationship
between ____________________, voltage, and ____________________. The equation for this
relationship is I = V/R.

Vocabulary Definitions
Cell: Device that produces an electric current by changing chemical energy into electrical
energy.
Current: The rate at which electric charge passes through a specific point; units are amperes, or
“amps” (A), with the symbol “I” in the Ohm’s law equation.
Electrode: Part of a cell through which electric charges enter and exit; all batteries have two
electrodes, labeled “+” and “–”.
Electrolyte: A liquid or paste that conducts electricity; found in batteries.
Ohm’s Law: Describes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance; I = V/R.
Potential Difference: The energy per unit of charge; units are volts (V).
Voltage: The difference in electric energy per unit of charge as a charge moves between two
points; units are volts (V).
Voltmeter: Device for measuring voltage.
Resistance: The opposition to the flow of electric charge; units are ohms (Ω), with the symbol
“R” in the Ohm’s law equation.

A cell is a device that produces an electric current by changing chemical energy into electrical
energy. Electric charges enter and exit it through the electrodes at the ends. Inside, a substance
that is a liquid or paste, called an electrolyte, conducts electricity. As long as there is a potential
difference (or voltage) between the electrodes of a cell and there is a wire connecting them,
charges will flow through the cell and the wire, creating an electric current. We can use a
voltmeter to measure the voltage (or potential difference) in a cell. Ohm’s law shows the
relationship between current, voltage, and resistance. The equation for it is I = V/R.
