Putting batteries in series will up the voltage of the entire circuit. Certain things need higher voltage, so you put your batteries in series.
Putting batteries in parallel will not up the voltage, but will let the current last longer.
Watches would be more of an example for that. You want watch batteries to last long.
What else can I help you with?
Why are batteries sometimes joined in series?
Batteries are connected in series to add their voltages together. For example, two car batteries in series will give twenty four volts.
How do you wire up series batteries?
You must series the connection a positive terminal will connect to a negative terminal and so forth. the final voltage will add for additional batteries
Will an electromagnet be stronger with 2 batteries wired in series or parallel?
Normally putting the batteries in series would have more effect.
Do batteries that are arranged in series produce a higher voltage than batteries arranged in parallel?
Batteries in parallel maintain constant voltage across the load rather in a series, so it is better to arrange the batteries in parallel Batteries in series deliver a higher voltage, batteries in parallel have longer life use.
If two 2-volt batteries are connected in a series how many volts are available to the circuit?
The formula you are looking for is Vt = V1 + V2.
If you add more batteries to a simple circuit will make the bulb?
That will depend on whether they are added in series or parallel.
What is two batteries in a circuit called?
If the batteries are connected from + (positive) to - (negative) then the batteries are connected in "series". If the batteries are AA (1.5v each), then the resulting voltage of the two connected in series will be 3.0v. If the batteries are connected + to + and - to -, then they are connected in "parallel" and for the same batteries the voltage would be 1.5v, but would last twice as long as one battery by itself. A truck battery system is two 12v batteries connected in series (+ to -) to give the truck a running power of 24v.
What happen to the current and voltage of a battery if it in connected in series and parallel?
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
If a circuit has two AA alkaline batteries how many joules of energy does each coulomb of charge?
You need to multiply the number of coulombs by the number of volts. If the two batteries are in series, then you can add the voltage of both batteries.
How do you make a 3 volt battery output 5 volts?
Add two 1 volt batteries in series with it.
If you have four batteries in series what is the output voltage?
depends on the voltage of the batteries.. four 12 volt car batteries would output 4x12 = 48 v
Can you add batteries of different voltages to a series for instance you have 5 AA batteries in a series can you solder a 9V to increase the output voltage without destroying the circuit?
Yes, but the 9V can't deliver as much current as the AA can. Internally a standard 9V contains 6 AAAA batteries. It would be best to use all AAAA cells or all AA cells, depending on current requirement of the load.
