What is the different between series and parallel connection?

In parallel connection all the positive terminals are connected with positive of the source and all the negative terminals are connected to negative of the source. Whereas in series connection one positive terminal is connected to the negative of another, like wise it goes on and finally the positive end is connected to the negative of the source.

On the basis of gram reaction only can you distinguish between staphylococcus and streptococcus?

If the Gram stain is properly done, and based on color alone: - you CANNOT distinguish between Staphylococcus (positive/purple) and Streptococcus (positive/purple) - you CAN distinguish between Staphylococcus (positive/purple) and Neisseria (negative/red) - you CANNOT distinguish between Escherichia (negative/red) and Proteus (negative/red) - you CAN distinguish between Escherichia (negative/red) and Bacillus (positive/purple) Gram positives will stain purple because of the retention of the dye (crystal violet) in their thick peptidoglycan cell walls. On the other hand, Gram negatives have a thin cell wall and cannot retain the purple stain, so when they are counterstained, they will appear red


Distinguish between a cation and a anion?

A cation is a positive ion (as Na+). An anion is a negative ion (as Cl-).

What happens when you stick two 9 volt batteries together?

If you connect positive to positive and negative to negative you will have a 9V battery with twice the current capacity in milliampere hrs than a single batteries. The load then goes between positive and negative paralleled terminals. If you connect one negative of one battery to one positive of the other battery and put the load between the remaining negative and positive terminals you have created an 18 V battery with the same milliampere hr rating as a single battery. If you connect one negative to positive of other battery and the negative of that battery to the positive of the first battery then both batteries with quickly drain and get hot in the process. Contrary to folklore or urban lefends, they do not explode.


When an ammeter is connected in a circuit which terminal of the battery must be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter?

The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.

What is the use of battery acid in battery?

It's function is to provide a 'path' for electrons to flow between the positive and negative terminals. Without the acid, the plates attached to the terminals would simply be surrounded by air - which would not conduct electricity.
