What was included in the article?
This article talked about how the lithium ion battery works. In explaining the parts of tha battery, it said there was a voltage converter and regulator circuit, which relates to class. This is used to maintain safe levels of voltage. It also explained that there is a postive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. When the battery charges, ions of lithium move through the separator from the positive electrode to the negative,and attach to the carbon. These lithium ions move at a very high voltage.
What did I learn in class that helped me to understand?
Our discussions on voltage helped a lot in understanding this article. It was helpful to know that energy is stored when a charge is placed at a voltage. A voltage being a buildup of charge. It was also helpful to know that in a normal battery electrons are given electric potential energy from the voltage of the battery. This energy is then converted into other forms. The iPad battery also uses a similar process as the iPad will also take the electric potential energy of the electrons and convert it.
