[17:15] <fruitbag> "The voltage of the battery is a measure of how much 'push' it can provide and how much energy it can transfer to the charge."
[17:15] <fruitbag> ?
[17:15] <fruitbag> How much 'push' it can can provide?
[17:15] <fruitbag> ...what does that mean exactly?
[17:15] <fluidH2O> it means if you short circuit your body how many times you'll spasm before you'll lie there lifeless
[17:16] <fruitbag> ...
[17:16] <fluidH2O> actually, no
[17:16] <fluidH2O> it's the electric field across the anode and cathode
[17:16] <fluidH2O> going from the anode to cathode
[17:17] <fluidH2O> the electric field gradient across the anode and cathode
[17:19] <fluidH2O> aka, the potential difference
[17:19] <fluidH2O> what I said before all that would be current :)
[17:21] <fluidH2O> fruitbag: it's like a comb that attracts your hair
[17:21] <fruitbag> I enjoy math
