A battery is made from cells connected in series. Each
cell has a small voltage and a battery adds these
voltages.
Electricity is produced in an electrochemical
cell by chemical reactions that remove electrons from the +ve connection or cathode, and
transfer electrons to the -ve anode. If the anode and cathode are connected via a lamp,
ipod, etc then the cell does work. Be aware that conventional current flow is opposite
to direction of electron flow.
A dynamo is a mechanical
device that makes a conducting wire move in a magnetic field, or vice versa. When there
is relative motion between a conductor and a field a voltage is generated. As above if
the wire is connected to an external device work is done.
