Without specifics (are all the batteries end to end or are some loads between batteries, are all the loads the same resistive, capacitive or inductive value...), the generic answer is: the sum of supplied voltages must equal the sum of voltage drops across the loads.

∙ 13y agoThe voltage across each load will be a percentage of the voltage across the battery, depending on the percentage of the total load each individual load is.
The voltage across the battery is equal and opposite to the sum of the voltages across each load in a series circuit. This is Kirchoff's Voltage law: "The signed sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is zero".

What is the PD across two resistors connected parallel to a battery of emf 6V?
The potential difference across two resistors connected in parallel to a battery with a potential difference of 6 volts is 6 volts. Kirchoff's Voltage Law: The signed sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is zero. This means that that the two series circuits involving the battery and each resistor have the same voltage across each other, and the series circuit involving the two resistors have the same voltage across each other.
Why the unit of potential difference and electromotive force is the same?
Because an electromotive force is a potential difference (voltage) -specifically, an electromotive force is the open-circuit or no-load potential difference of a source such as a battery or generator.
Three identical bulbs are connected in parallel across a 12-V battery If one of the bulbs were removed from its socket then the potential difference measured across the empty socket would be?
12V. Every resistor in a parallel circuit shares the same voltage. It is the current that gets divided.
When a battery is connected with a capacitor the potential difference will?
Charge the capacitor. Potential difference is a scientific term for what is more commonly called voltage. ANSWER: If big enough the battery will see a short initially and then proceed to charge the capacitor at a rate of 63% of the voltage in one time constant defined as RC For engineering purposes after 5 time the time constant the battery will and the capacitor zero potential different. The proper term should be virtual no difference.
What is meant by a cell has a voltage of 1.5volt?
No. The potential DIFFERENCE of a battery (or, more accurately, a dry cell) is 1.5 V.
How do you connect a voltmeter to a battery?
To measure the total emf simply connect the battery and voltmeter with the right terminals , but to measure the terminal potential difference which is less than the emf the voltmeter is connected in parallel with the battery
How do you connect volt meter in battery charger?
To measure voltage be in parallel with the battery. Series would measure current. Parallel measures potential.
Explain how potential difference in a battery is similar to a staircase?
The potential difference in a battery is like the height of the stairs. The amount of charge separated in a battery is like the mass moved up the stairs. The potential energy in the battery is due to both the potential difference (volts) and the amount of charge that has been separated (coulombs).
What is the PD across two resistors connected parallel to a battery of emf 6V?
The potential difference across two resistors connected in parallel to a battery with a potential difference of 6 volts is 6 volts. Kirchoff's Voltage Law: The signed sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is zero. This means that that the two series circuits involving the battery and each resistor have the same voltage across each other, and the series circuit involving the two resistors have the same voltage across each other.
What is terminal PD?
A terminal potential difference is the potential difference appearing across the terminals of a voltage source, such as a battery or a generator, which varies according to the load supplied.When the battery or generator is off load (i.e. no load is connected to it), the terminal potential difference is equal to the electromotive force of that battery or generator.The terminal potential difference tends to decrease as the load current increases, due to a corresponding increase in the internal voltage drop of the battery or generator.
Why does a battery work?
A battery s a source of constant potential difference , this potential difference drives the electrons present in the wire and this constitutes current .Shortly the potential difference across the battery terminals does work on the conduction electrons present inside the conductor. Actually a battery is an electrolytic device ,after some time the electrolyte completely exhausts this state of battery is called as discharged state.
What does a battery create between terminals?
Potential difference (voltage)
What is the potential difference across the terminals of a battery?
Please share your answer?
It has a potential difference between the positive and negative terminals?
It is a battery.
A battery has a difference in potential energy between the positive terminal and negative terminal which units express this difference in energy?
That's a difference in electrical potential, not potential energy.It's described in units of "volts".
Which part of the circuit supplies the potential difference in the circuit?
A battery or a generator.
Why the unit of potential difference and electromotive force is the same?
Because an electromotive force is a potential difference (voltage) -specifically, an electromotive force is the open-circuit or no-load potential difference of a source such as a battery or generator.
