Excerpt from Primary Batteries
Thus the metal zinc and sulphuric acid, which acts chemically on it, represent energy of chemical separa tion in the potential form. If now the zinc is placed alone in the acid, this energy of chemical separation is converted simply into heat, when the zinc displaces the hydrogen of the acid with the formation of zinc sul phate. But if the displacement of hydrogen by zinc is made to take place under certain less simple conditions, then a part at least of the kinetic energy developed takes the form of the energy of an electric current. The arrangement of parts necessary to secure these con ditions, which determine that the transformed energy shall be electrical, is called a battery, or voltaic cell.
