Question
in order for the chemical reaction in batteries to continue working, what has to go through the wires? velocity chemicals electrons
Batteries work via electrochemical reactions. For the chemical reaction in a battery to continue, electrons must flow through the wires (this is electric current). Velocity is a measure of speed, not a substance that flows in wires for battery reactions. Chemicals stay within the battery (electrodes/electrolyte), not flowing through wires. So electrons are what move through wires to sustain the battery's chemical reaction.
