How do the current produced by 1.5 volt flashlight cell and a 12 Volt car battery compare?
They don't. Car batteries produce 100's of amps of current. a 1.5Volt flash light battery produces milli-amps at best.
How do the currents produced by a 1.5 volt flashlight cell and a 12 volt car battery compare if the resistance is the same?
12/1.5= 8. If I = Current from 1.5 Volt source and I2 = current from 12 V source then I = I2/8 or said in another way the current from 1.5V device is 1/8 of the current from 12 V device.
How does the currents priduce by a 1.5 v flashlight cell an a 12 v car battery compare?
No real comparison. In simplistic terms the D cell 1.5 volt flashlight battery will produce around 15 ampere hours. A 12 volt automobile battery will produce from 300 cold cranking amps (CCA) to 800 CCA or more.
What is stronger a 1.5 volt battery or a 6 volt battery?
They are for different purposes. You cannot compare apples to oranges.
How do the currents produced by a 1.5 Volt flashlight cell and a 12 Volt car battery compare?
Do you mean the maximum possible current, or the current in normal applications? Car batteries have low internal resistance since auto starter motors draw a lot of current, a CCA (cold cranking amperage) rating of around 600A is not unusual for a car battery some can be even higher.A flashlight cell is not designed for that sort of current, while the maximum will depend on cell size and chemistry, I suspect a couple of amps might be a good guess at a maximum. However, the rechargeable NiCad or NiMH cells used in portable power tools can probably put out significantly more for short periods.Driving the same load resistance the current from a 12V battery will be 8 times that from a 1.5V battery. Assuming the load is not overloading the battery (and it might overload the flashlight cell if the resistance is too small).This is simple arithmetic: 12÷1.5=8
What happens to the current in a circuit if a 1.5 volt battery is removed and is replace by 9 volt battery?
Current will go up by a factor of 6 times in that scenario.

What current does a torch carry using a 3 volt battery?
3v battery is used direct current
What happens to the current in a 1.5 volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 3-volt battery?
V = IR, so if you double the voltage without changing the resistance, the current will also double.
What experiment to determine if a D cell battery or a 9-volt battery has more energy?
you will have to get 2 batteries and compare it
What current does a 15 volt battery produce when no load is applied to it?
None.
A 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor What is the current in the circuit?
If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in series, the current in the circuit is 1.0 amperes. If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in parallel, the current in the circuit is 0.5 amperes.
