What happens if you connect a short copper wire to both the positive and negative terminals of a battery and why?
The wire will get hot, the temperature it gets up to will depend on the ampere of the battery and size of wire. The wire can get hot enough to causes burns or start a fire if the battery is large enough. Why this happens is because you have shorted the battery out. The power comes out of the positive post and back in the negative post. When you short it out the power can flow from one post to the other very quickly causing the short to get hot, due to the amount of flow.
What happens when you stick two 9 volt batteries together?
If you connect positive to positive and negative to negative you will have a 9V battery with twice the current capacity in milliampere hrs than a single batteries. The load then goes between positive and negative paralleled terminals. If you connect one negative of one battery to one positive of the other battery and put the load between the remaining negative and positive terminals you have created an 18 V battery with the same milliampere hr rating as a single battery. If you connect one negative to positive of other battery and the negative of that battery to the positive of the first battery then both batteries with quickly drain and get hot in the process. Contrary to folklore or urban lefends, they do not explode.
