Advanced Placement Physics 2 focusing on fluids, thermodynamics, and modern physics.
Electricity doesn’t just flow through wires—it can also move through fluids! These are called electrolytes, and their behavior is crucial in batteries and biological systems.
When salts dissolve in water, they create ions, allowing electric current to flow. This process powers everything from your smartphone battery to the nerve signals in your body.
The movement of charged particles creates electric fields and can even cause chemical reactions, like in electrolysis.
Electrochemistry is the science behind batteries, fuel cells, and even water purification.
A car battery uses a liquid electrolyte to store and release energy.
Table salt dissolved in water conducts electricity, lighting a small bulb.
Fluids can carry electric charge, enabling batteries, nerves, and more.
