If you put two batteries of the same voltage with like terminals touching each other in series the equal, but opposite voltages will cancel each other and the light bulb will not light, because there is no current flowing through it.

What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?

Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery. If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.


What are two ways electric circuits can be arranged?

Electric circuits with 2 terminals can be arranged in "series" or in "parallel". This applies to all 2-terminal circuits - including fundamental components such as resistors, capacitors, or inductors. The term "series" means that an electrical path in an existing circuit is broken and the circuit is connected to the 2 terminals of the break. The term "parallel" means that the electric circuit is connected between 2 existing terminals or nodes of the existing circuit.


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.


What does a battery snap do in a circuit?

A battery snap is a kind of connector, used on certain batteries. Popular 9v batteries have terminals on them like a 'press stud'. They are polarized, one connection is like a claw and the other like a button. This make sure that the connection only fits one way round or on the correct terminals, preventing reverse polarity damage. Small batteries like the PP3, have the two connectors on one clip, or board. Larger batteries will have the connectors separate, one on each wire.


What is use of terminals in the circuit?

Terminal represents or are ends in a Electrical Circuit that connects components in Circuit to the Power Source. Terminals are either Positive or Negative marked at the ends denoting the acceptible floe of electrons across the Circuit.


What is the purpose of the batteries in the circuit?

The purpose of the battery in a circuit is to wive energy to the circuit


What happens when hooking 2 9 volt batteries together?

Interconnecting Two 9 Volt BatteriesWhat happens "when hooking 2 9 volt batteries together" depends on HOW they are connected together. IF you connect the Negative terminals together, AND the Positive terminals together, then nothing happens other than creating a 9 volt battery capable of providing twice the current [measured in Milliamps (mA), or Amps (A)].On the other hand, IF the batteries are connected with the Positive terminals to the Negative terminals of the other, THEN you will have created a very serious and possibly hazardous condition!!!!!When connected in this manner, the full current of both batteries flows, basically a full short circuit condition, and both batteries will very quickly heat up to the point of self destruction, and very likely to explode.Even it they do not explode, they will certainly become hot enough to severely burn you, and start a fire if they are in near proximity to anything combustible.Therefore, DO NOT interconnect any batteries, with both of their Positive terminals to the other's Negative without a load [electricity using device within the the circuit] to limit the current flow.If you connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the other and then put the load between the remaining positive and negative terminals on each battery you then have an 18 V battery. This is connecting the batteries in series.

What terminals do the electrons flow through a circuit?

from negative to positive.


Why current source is replaced by open circuit across the terminals?

For an ideal current source, this means replace the current source with an open circuit. Resistance can then be calculated across the terminals.
