Anything that uses a battery is relying on a DC power source. Cell phones, laptops, cars, and cordless appliances like drills or even wine-bottle openers all use batteries as a source of direct current. If a device uses a battery as its’ power source, internally it is comprised of DC circuits.

If a device uses a battery as its’ power source, internally it is comprised of DC circuits. In fact, any thing that has a computer or digital circuit also relies on DC power sources. As the world becomes more automated and advanced, more devices rely on DC power sources to power the computer chips they use.
The most common type of battery is the lithium-ion battery, which is used in many portable electronic devices. Batteries store energy that can be used when required. Batteries are a collection of cells that create a chemical reaction, this chemical reaction then creates a flow of electrons.
A power source is a device or machine that supplies electric power to a system. You can think of a power source as something that provides energy to electrons in a circuit. There are two common forms of power sources, named after the type of electric current that they produce; direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC).
There are two common forms of power sources, named after the type of electric current that they produce; direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). We will use an analogy to help develop our understanding of DC and AC power. Think of a rope that is wrapped around two wheels that are separated by a small distance, like a pulley clothesline.

An electric battery is a source of electric power consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections for powering electrical devices. When a battery is supplying power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode. The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons. When a battery is connected to an external electric load, those neg…
