A battery is discharging. electric current exits the battery through the ______ terminal, at a ______ potential than when it entered

Sagot :

When a battery discharges the current exits through the positive terminal at a higher potential than it entered.

  • When a battery discharges the current exits the battery through the positive terminal as a circuit connected to that should conduct current from positive to a negative potential.
  • Accordingly, the current enters the battery at its negative terminal.
  • In practicality, batteries contain some internal resistance that restricts the current flow during current flow.
  • That is why there is a potential difference between the 2 terminals.
  • To drive the current through the external circuit connected to the battery, it keeps a higher potential at its positive terminal while the negative terminal is kept at a lower potential in contrast.
