The actual process of flicking the switch of the flashlight is kinetic energy, as there is movement involved. However, when the flashlight is now turned on, it will be producing light energy.

A flashlight is run by the chemical energy stored in the acid of the batteries. This energy is then converted to electrical energy, and then into light.

How do the currents produced by a 1.5 Volt flashlight cell and a 12 Volt car battery compare?

Do you mean the maximum possible current, or the current in normal applications? Car batteries have low internal resistance since auto starter motors draw a lot of current, a CCA (cold cranking amperage) rating of around 600A is not unusual for a car battery some can be even higher.A flashlight cell is not designed for that sort of current, while the maximum will depend on cell size and chemistry, I suspect a couple of amps might be a good guess at a maximum. However, the rechargeable NiCad or NiMH cells used in portable power tools can probably put out significantly more for short periods.Driving the same load resistance the current from a 12V battery will be 8 times that from a 1.5V battery. Assuming the load is not overloading the battery (and it might overload the flashlight cell if the resistance is too small).This is simple arithmetic: 12÷1.5=8


How do you tell if a battery is 6 volt or 12 volt?

12V While modern car batteries have been standardized at 12V many cars built before 1960 used the older standard 6V car battery. While these are no longer available from auto parts stores, there are specialty auto parts suppliers still selling them to meet the needs of car collectors and other enthusiasts of old cars. One example of a car using the 6V battery was the Crosley which was manufactured from 1939 to 1952. The pre-war models were very popular during wartime gas rationing because the light weight of the car (less than 1000 pounds) permitted it to get 50MPG.


How is a battery leakage test conducted?

Set your voltmeter to a low DC Volt range. Connect the negative lead to the battery's negative post. Then move the meter's positive lead across the top and sides of the battery case. If some voltage is read on the meter, current is leaking out of the battery. The battery should be cleaned and then rechecked, If voltage is again measured, the battery should be REPLACED; the case is porous or cracked! BE CAREFUL BATTERY'S CONTAIN HARMFUL GASES, FUMES, & ACID! WEAR GLOVES AND BE SMART ABOUT THIS! IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING PLEASE BRING TO A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC or SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THERE DOING! Any questions on auto mechanics email Rdyoungiii@yahoo.co.uk and ill be glad to answer your questions


Your volts light came on in your 1995 Chevrolet Lumina What is wrong?

You need to check your battery and alternator, to start with. If you're lucky it'll be something simple like those two. Sometimes you can get local auto parts stores to check them it for free. Typically that means that the alternator isn't charging. Many auto parts retailers will test the charging system at no cost. Their hope is that you'll buy the replacement parts from them. An automobile will run for a while after the alternator stops charging, but when an alternator is not replacing the electrical current the battery will eventually discharge and without recharging the battery SOMEHOW, with either a functioning alternator or an outside charger, the engine will eventually fail to start.


When will you need auto rocks?

Auto rocks likely refers to Rock Auto parts. One may need the Rock Auto part catalogs when they are searching for new parts for their cars. Once finding the parts, they can repair their cars.

Why would a battery smell like sulfur and how should you correct it?

It is being over charged or it has an internal problem. It has the potential of exploding in your face. Do not create a source of ignition anywhere near the battery. Your local auto parts store can test the battery and the charging system.

An auto battery could be leaking for a couple of reasons. The alternator could be overcharging the battery causing the leakage. Or the battery itself could have a short or other internal problem causing it to leak when charging.
