Today i wanted to watch the super bowl, so i sat down on my couch and grabbed the remote. When i tried to turn on the tv; however, it wouldn't go on. I pushed and pushed, and nothing happened. I was almost ready to give up and not watch it at all, until my sister brought me over a fresh pair of batteries. Batteries are sources of eletric potential energy. The batteries in the remote have a positive and negative terminal (different electric potentials). The voltage of the AA batteries in the remote control is 1.5V. A chemical reaction inside the battery creates electrons. The metal springs in the remote connect the battery's negative and positive ends. The electrons collect on the negative end of the battery, and move towards the positive end. By doing this and completing the circuit, the batteries give the remote control power to change channels.
