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

Compare potential and kinetic energy?

The difference between potential and kinetic energy all comes down to a very simple property of the object. If an object is moving, then it has kinetic energy, or kinetic energy is the energy of movement. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object and can be released under the right conditions.


What is the difference between potential difference and voltage difference?

To specifically answer the question, there is no such thing as 'voltage difference' because, by definition, 'voltage' means 'potential difference' -not 'potential'!You can compare 'potential' with height, and 'potential difference' with the difference in height.The height of an object depends upon from where you measure it. For example an object three-quarters of the way up a 1000 m mountain is +750 m from the base of the mountain, but -250 m from the top of the mountain. Note how we apply a positive or a negative sign to indicate whether we are measuring upwards or downwards.The same applies to potential. It's value depends upon from where it is measured. For example, two charged objects could have a potential of , say, +5 V with respect to earth (ground) and a potential of -15 V with respect to earth. But the potential difference between them will be +5 - (-15) = 20 V.Notice how, in the above example, we always show a positive or negative sign when we talk about potential, but we don't use these signs when we talk about a potential difference. Furthermore, it is important that we must ALWAYS specify the reference point when we describe potential -e.g. "What is the potential at point A, with respect to (say) earth?"Taking this further. It's important to know that the term 'voltage' means 'potential difference', and not 'potential'! It would be quite wrong to say that the 'voltage of an object is (say) -200 V with respect to earth'. The correct expression would be the 'potentialof an object is -200 V with respect to earth'.
