The discussion is interesting but it's beyond me at this stage I know that battery is power source the discussion is really confusing me. It would be easier for me to follow the thread if we can discuss about the circuit that I've setup in the breadboard with the picture that I've posted so I can follow the discussion again
Sure, but a slab of a PNP semiconductor (which, by the way, is not just a "slab"--it's made up of three parts, but I'm hoping you already know that) has a lot more variables and factors that come into play, whereas a basic resistor does not. I'm using SIMPLE examples to try to help the OP, and IMHO, you're only making things more confusing for him.
Now for that I really have to apologize. I said PNP, but I really meant a slab of P-type semiconductor. I must have had a brain spasm to overlook such a simple mistake. Please forgive me.
The electrolyte is a specific element that strips the electrons from the oxidizer.
Answer me something. How do electrons get stripped from the oxidizer. I thought that the oxidizer takes in electrons, not give them away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_agent
You probably ought to learn a little more about chemistry and how charges and ionized atoms work with each other before throwing out an argument against something that is saying the same thing as you are. Just saying
You did not describe it the same way before. You said that the ions did not move. I say they do. I am still looking forward to seeing how electrons get yanked out of an oxidizer.
Sure, they're just as important when it comes to making the battery actually work, but if someone is just trying to learn how current flows through a circuit, there is absolutely no need to tell them about how current flows just inside the battery.
My post was addressed to you, not the OP. However, he can read and ignore it if he desires. I believe all the questions he posted were answered. He is not going to be graded on what we say to each other.
I never could understand that phrase either. Now if you specify some finite charges moving from one voltage level to another, then you have an energy or potential difference. V*Q = energy.
I agree with you 100% and that's what I'm trying to do with this post is to understand the basic of things before moving on to other different advanced things.
This kind of discussion happens in forums and that's understanable and really appreciate the in-depth discussion that's happening as I'm sure one day I will refer back to this post again to learn all the things that you are discussing .
