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.

Does batteries connected in parallel increase the current capacity to the circuit?
If each battery is identical, yes.
4batteries are connected in parallel what will be the required current of the charger to charge these batteries in 2hours 12volts batteries?
12 volts only refers to the voltage, to be able to say anything about charge time you also need to know the capacity rating in amp hours of the batteries. Assuming lead-acid batteries the charger needs to go to > 14.4 V and then a proportional amount of amps as compared to the capacity rating of the batteries. A rough approximation is that batteries needs to be charged with about 1.4 times their amp rating. An 1 Ah battery would need 2 hours on a 0.7 amp charger for instance.
If Four 12 voltsbatteries connected in parallel and one 12 volt battery in series how much voltage is active across circuit?
A == B (- 12V +) (- 12V +) (- 12V +) A single 12V battery in series with 4x 12V batteries connected in parallel... Total voltage from A to B is 24 volts! Note that the single battery in series will limit the total current capacity to that of a single battery.
What is a Darlington pair?
A Darlington pair is two transistors connected together to give a very high current gain.
Which type of current is used in batteries and which is used in household outlets?
Batteries provide Direct Current (DC) while household outlets provide Alternating Current (AC).
Does batteries connected in parallel increase the current capacity to the circuit?
If each battery is identical, yes.
How do you connect 2 6 volt batteries in parallel to make 12 volts?
If you connect 2 six volt batteries in parallel it will still give you six volts but it will give you twice the cranking power. To obtain twelve volts from the two six volt batteries they will have to be connected in series.
How do you explain the effect of the number of batteries on the amount of current produced?
The number of batteries has only an effect on the amount of current when they are equivalent and connected in parallel. The amount of current that can flow from a group of batteries connected in series is limited to the current provided by the battery that produces the lowest current flow in the string.
If batteries are wired in a series-parallel configuration?
You get more voltage and current capacity.
Can current increased from two battery connections?
Two batteries can supply more current than one if they are connected in parallel.
When wires bulbs and batteries are connected they make a path for eletricity to flow through called what?
Electrical Current
What happens if two lots of 12dc volts are applied?
It depends how they are connected. If the terminals of two 12 volt batteries batteries are connected to the same circuit (in parallel) then there is no change in the flow of current- it will just last for twice as long a time. But if two opposing terminals of the batteries are connected to each other first and the free terminals then connected to the circuit (in series) then there would be a total voltage of 24 volts and twice as much current would flow. The two batteries would last for the same length of time as one battery on its own.

Can you connect batteries in series and parallel?
Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible. When connected in series Voltage increases. In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.
How do you make a series and parallel connections experiment?
Two batteries, put them in series and either measure the voltage with a voltmeter, or with a fan connected watch the speed increase. A parallel connection will increase the current available but will not have an obvious change in output, as the current available is just that, ready for use. You can do something else with parallel and that is to have a volt meter showing that there is a current flow between the two batteries and that is why batteries connected in parallel will discharge.
How do you identify dc source is connected instead of battery?
"dc" is direct current which is what batteries use, whereas "ac" is alternating current, which is what your household receptacle uses.
How many amperes does a 6 volt DC battery put out?
That will depend on the sum of the load resistance and the internal resistance of the battery (this is true for all power sources, not just 6 volt batteries). Small compact batteries tend to have higher internal resistance and therefore are more limited in the current they can deliver to a given load than larger batteries.
