If you keep all of them in series, then each component in your circuit will have
more voltage across it and more current through it, and will dissipate more
power (heat).
If you keep all of the batteries in parallel, then they must all be rated for the
same voltage. Nothing about the circuit's performance will change, but it'll be
able to operate longer before the batteries die.

If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel potion of the circuit?
A: There is no voltage drop running through in a parallel circuit but rather the voltage drop across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same
What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
In a parallel circuit the is the same for every leg in the circuit?
voltage
What happens if a light blows in a parallel circuit?
The rest of the lights in the system will remain illuminated. Except in that branch of the circuit. The parallel branch(s) get more current if the voltage potential remains the same.
What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
What happens in a circuit if you increase the voltage of the battery driving it?
The power in the circuit will increase.
If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
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 will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?
Voltage remains constant; current increases.
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel potion of the circuit?
A: There is no voltage drop running through in a parallel circuit but rather the voltage drop across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same
What happens when one or more light bulbs are added to the circuit?
A: If put in series current will decrease if put in parallel current will increase assuming the input voltage remains the same
What happens to voltage and current in a parallel circuit?
-- The voltage between the ends of each parallel branch is the same. -- The current through each parallel branch is inversely proportional to the resistance of that branch. (It's the voltage divided by the resistance of the branch.)
Why a voltage only in parallel?
Depends on what circuit you're refering to, a parallel circuit has parallel lines because it allows for voltage to pass through the circuit, giving more power.
What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?
That has no effect on the resistance. The current doubles also.
