assuming the batteries are the same:
if you connect + to + and - to - the line out will be the same volts as one battery (parallel)
if you connect + to - and - to + (series) the line out will be the sum of all the batteries in series Do not connect batteries together in either configuration unless they are the same size and rating Observe all safety precausions when handling batteries

not add up but remain available to the less capable of all the batteries

∙ 12y agoThis was a phenomenon discovered by accident after the first batteries were created. But only an electrical engineer, a physicist or a chemists can tell you the reason for sure.

∙ 8y agoIt depends on what it is connected in series with.

When a resistor is connected in parallel what happens to the size of current form the battery?
When a resistor is added the current goes down, that is expressed in the equation current= voltage/ resistance
If a 9 volt and a 12 volt battery are connected in parallel what is there voltage?
The voltage is unknown, because it depends on the impedance of each battery. Certainly, damage is going to be done, because there will be excessive current.
Three electric cells each have a voltage of 1.3Vwhat is the total voltage of the three cells if the cells are connected in parallel?
voltage is still 1.3V in parallel circuit, voltage stays the same but current adds up in series circuit, voltage adds up but current stays the same
Three identical bulbs are connected in series labeled A B and C to a battery which bulb is the brightest?
If three identical bulbs are connected in parallel to a battery, all three bulbs would have equal brightness.Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit is zero. A consequence of this is that, in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each parallel element is the same.There are effectively 6 series circuits in this example - battery and A - battery and B - battery and C - A and B - A and C - and B and C. These six combinations are also parallel circuits, and they are also in parallel with each other.
What happens to the current of R1 connected in series with R2 when it is also connected in parallel with R3?
The current, if connected to a voltage source that can supply the needed current to (R1+R2) R3, will be unchanged. If the source cannot supply the needed current, the terminal voltage will decrease, which will change the current flowing through R1 and R2.

What is the voltage when batteries are connected in parallel?
When batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage remains the same as the voltage of a single battery. This is because the positive terminals are connected together and the negative terminals are connected together, so the voltage across each battery remains constant.
Two voltage sources can be connected in parallel when they are equal in?
Voltage sources connected in parallel should have equal voltage. Otherwise the stronger battery would attempt to charge the weaker creating a lot of heat and depending on the type of battery there is the chance of explosion.
If Four 12 voltsbatteries connected in parallel and one 12 volt battery in series how much voltage is active across circuit?
A == B (- 12V +) (- 12V +) (- 12V +) A single 12V battery in series with 4x 12V batteries connected in parallel... Total voltage from A to B is 24 volts! Note that the single battery in series will limit the total current capacity to that of a single battery.
How does the potential difference across the light when batteries are added in series compare to parallel?
When the batteries are connected in parralell, the voltage remains the same as a single battery, but the current capability is doubled. When connected in series, the voltage doubles at the light, but the current remains the same as if a single battery was connected. Ohm's Law E=IxR R=E divided by I I=E divided by R E=Voltage R=Resistance I=Current
How does the voltage of a double battery compare to the voltage of a single battery?
The voltage depends on how the two batteries are connected to one another. If they are connected in a series circuit (positive end to negative end) the voltage will double. If they are wired in a parallel circuit, (It
Can you connect batteries in series and parallel?
Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible. When connected in series Voltage increases. In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.
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.
Why do two ideal voltage source of unequal voltage cannot be connected in parallel?
If two ideal sources of unequal voltage are connected in parallel the higher voltage will provide a majority of the current (a two percent difference in voltage would provide an additional 5% of the current) and (in the case of batteries) the larger would provide charging current, quickly draining it.
Two resistors are connected in parallel to a battery What must the votlage across these two resistors?
Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.
How do you connect 2 6 volt batteries in parallel to make 12 volts?
If you connect 2 six volt batteries in parallel it will still give you six volts but it will give you twice the cranking power. To obtain twelve volts from the two six volt batteries they will have to be connected in series.
