Can current flow in a circuit without potential difference?
A current cannot exist without voltage but voltage can exist without current.Simple example is battery. A battery has votlage even though it is not connected elsewhere.
Why does my Car stall when you unhook the battery?
It means that you have an alternator fitted. An alternator needs an amount of battery voltage to generate electricity. A generator/dynamo will make voltage without a battery being present.
Can you use a 120v dewalt battery charger in Europe with 220v without a voltage converter without damage to the charger or battery?
No, by doubling the input voltage to the charger which is just a transformer you will be doubling the output of the charger. Batteries like to be charged at about a volt and a half above their working voltage.
How many light bulbs can you light with a battery?
it takes 1 C type battery <><><> That answer is not really very helpful because the question doesn't say what the voltage of the light bulbs is! This question cannot be answered without knowing at least the voltage of the light bulbs and also the voltage of the battery that is being asked about.
How do you know if the battery is no good on a 2000 ml320?
Should really charge it then test it with a proper battery load tester. All you can do on your own is get a multimeter and check the voltage. Without it running and having sat for a 1/2 hour or so the voltage should be approx 12-12.5 volts. Start the engine and if the alternator is good the voltage at the battery terminals should be 13-14 volts. If without the engine running the battery voltage is 12 or less this may indicate that the battery is not holding a charge. Even then the voltage should go to between 13-14 volts when engine is started showing that the alternator is working to charge the battery. If when started the battery voltage stays around 12-12.5 volts or less I would suspect the alternator. Just to double check there is the main power out terminal on the back of the alternator. With the engine running check the voltage. If 13-14 volts is present at the alternator but not the battery the circuit in between the alternator and battery is suspect. If the voltage at the alternator is the same as at the battery (12-12.5 or less) the alternator or voltage regulator may be defective.
How many batteries can light up bulbs?
This question cannot be answered without knowing at least the voltage of the light bulbs and also the voltage of the battery that is being asked about.
When do the anodes and cathodes affect the voltage of a battery?
The anodes and cathodes affect the voltage of the battery all the time. Without them, the battery would not work. The anode provides the positive charge or current. The cathode provides the negative charge or electrons. Part of the anode is down in the battery and part serves as a terminal. Part of the cathode is down in the battery and part serves a a terminal.
Buick lesabre new alternator battery will not charge?
Have you checked the fuses?AnswerMay be a bad voltage regulator. alternator is no good without a voltage regulator. that's what "turns on" the alternator.
Can a battery charge a battery?
Sure, as long as the voltage of the charging battery is higher than the voltage of the battery to be charged. Be warned though, if batteries are too dissimilar they can be damaged.Off course they can! I have a small airplane a 'Classic AS 800', that charges the airplanes lithium-cell from the AA-powered remote control. Just as an example. But actually that charge is not without losses.
Will a car keep running if the battery is removed?
Usually yes if alternator is good not a good idea alternator can burn out all your components without the battery to keep the voltage down
What is the fuse on the battery terminal on a 2003 Mitsubishi eclipse gts?
the fuse regulates the voltage that comes back from the alternator to the battery and system without it you push to much power to the system and it will turn on your battery light and possibly blow your battery and ect....
How many lights will a 9v battery light?
This question cannot be answered properly without knowing at least the voltage of the light bulbs that are being asked about. When you know the bulbs' voltages then you will have to consider whether to wire them in series or in parallel to match the voltage available from the battery.
