how do alkaline batteries work?
Alkaline battery – Alkaline chemistry is used in common Duracell and Energizer batteries, the electrodes are zinc and manganese-oxide, with an alkaline electrolyte. (To borrow a description)… But you asked how it works, not what it is made of! The electrolite is a fluid which allows the flow of electrons from the zinc (negative side of the battery), to the maganese-oxide terminal, (or the positive side of the battery). In electronics, the electrons always are attracted to certain substances such as different metals and always negative to positive! (usually a softer metal to a harder metal but not always). a water heater works simularly but with a thermostat and heating coil. Hope this helps!
