If you have four batteries in series what is the output voltage?

depends on the voltage of the batteries.. four 12 volt car batteries would output 4x12 = 48 v


What is the purpose of the cell in batteries?

The cells are the individual units that provide voltage. In a battery, several of them are connected in series, to provide a higher voltage.


How many car batteries do you need to power your 100 amp home?

You cannot power a home with car batteries. Batteries are DC voltage. Your home operates on AC voltage. You could use a converter but the number of batteries required to operate an average home would be enormous.


What is the voltage of most car batteries?

12.6 volts when fully charged.


How are batteries connected together to obtain more current capacity?

A way of connecting batteries together to provide more current is to connect them in parallel. This allows more capacity at the same voltage. If the batteries were connected in series the voltage would be increased.


Can you replace two CR2016 batteries in a car key with one CR2032?

No. You would only have half the voltage required as they are the same voltage.


Can you describe how batteries are sources of voltage?

The number of cells in a battery determine the battery's voltage. Different types of batteries have different cell voltages. The cell voltage is dependant on the reactive metals used. A typical car battery will have six cells. Because a typical cell voltage has a source voltage of approximately 2.0 volts, this makes a car battery produce a voltage of 12 volts.


What provides the voltage difference in an electric circuit?

Voltage sources provide the voltage difference across an electrical circuit, these may be batteries, generators, alternators, solar cells, etc.
