Should you connect both ends of a battery into a circuit?
Simple. No because it will end up blowing up. Too much electricity will be conducted,also it causes death hazards. Take care now.
Does the spring in a flashlight complete the circuit or does it convert electrical energy into light energy?
A flashlight's spring is just to ensure a good electrical contact at both ends of the battery.
If you press wire to both ends of a battery will it explode or just get very hot?
It will get very hot if nothing but the battery is connected with wire but it won't explode...., in science class we did this, it's called electricity. All you're doing is making an electric circuit. Try connecting wire to a lightbulb, and touch the battery on both ends with the wire also. It will light the lightbulb up. Maybe go back to elementary school. lol
Where are both parallel and series circuits used?
there are both used in some electronics eg circuit breakers,ring main unit,circuit board.
What are the differences between potential difference and emf?
emf is present mainly in battery and potential difference is mainly present in circuit. emf is greater than p.d and p.d is greater than emf.......the units of both are Volt.....

Should you connect both ends of a battery in to a circuit?
The circuit won't do anything until both terminals of the battery are connected to the correct [two different] points in the circuit. As long as either terminal of the battery remains disconnected, the circuit is "OFF".

Not if it's explosive ?!?

What do you need to have a simple circuit?
Take a battery, a wire and a little light bulb. Put the wire on the flat part of the battery then put the other end of the wire on the side part of the bottom of the light bulb. Put the end of the light bulb on the top of the battery, dont touch the wire to the top when the light bulb is on it because is either shocks you or doesnt work.
What is a battery holder in a circuit?
A device that provides both mechanical support for and electrical contacts to a battery. In general there is no schematic circuit symbol for a battery holder, as the symbol for a battery tends to imply a battery holder is also present.
Are both ends of the battery or only one end connected to the lighted bulb?
Both ends of the battery are connected, to make a complete circuit.
What is an activity that would show graphite is a good conductor of electricity?
Take a pencil made of wood and sharpen it from both ends such that the tips become clear. Those black parts of pencil are graphite. Take a wire connect it to the bulb, then to a battery and connect the both ends of the pencil to the wire forming a circuit. When current flows from battery, it goes through wire and bulb lightens. Since the pencil is connected in the circuit, current also passes through it. It shows that it is a good conductor of electricity.
How do i replace a car battery Mazda 323?
disconnect both poles, wait 5 minutes, lossen the bolt, replace your battery, tighten the bolt, connect both poles. here you go disconnect both poles, wait 5 minutes, lossen the bolt, replace your battery, tighten the bolt, connect both poles. here you go
When a battery has two positive and two negative terminals is it ok to connect one battery to a second battery using the second terminal?
the two terminals both conect to the electrode of the battery,so, you can conect two batteries with the two "terminals" for parallel circuit or series circuit. Rocky_B - Yes you can do this to give yourself some extra amps, but connect the negative to the negative of the other battery and the positive to the positive of the other battery - This is what previous poster meant by parallel. Warning: If this is for an automobile electrical system, you do not want to connect it in series; i.e. Positive to solenoid, negative to positive of other battery, negative of other battery to ground, as it would be supplying over 24volts to a 12volt system and may seriously mess up your electrical system or cause wire insulation to heat up, melt, and cause fires.
Does a battery last longer in a series or parallel circuit?
A battery doesn't see a series or parallel circuit. It just supplies the current that is demanded by the load be it a series or parallel load. Visualize that a single load across a battery is both a series and parallel load to the battery.
How do you connect a digital voltmeter to a battery?
Use a multimeter that has both scales on it . All you need to do is change the scale from AC to DC
