In an electric circuit,
the chemical energy
from a battery does
work on a charge by
moving it from low to
high potential
terminal.
3
This is then transformed into electrical energy
within the battery, before being transformed into
other forms of energy, such as heat and light.
4
This lesson will enable you to probe deeper into
how electric potential enables this mechanism
to work.

Applications of Potential Difference in Circuitry
In battery-operated electric
circuits, work must be
applied to a positive charge
so that it can move from the
negative terminal to the
positive terminal.
