What happens if you put two batteries in a flashlight so that the negative end of one battery touches the negative end of the other?
It depends on the flashlight.
- Old style lights with incandescent bulbs will light regardless of the direction the current flows. The problem is that misinstalled batteries may not contact the connectors properly and no current flows.
- For modern LED lights the current must flow in the proper direction due to the nature of diodes so the batteries must be installed correctly. This applies for many diode and transistor using systems such as wireless keyboards and mice.
It would.of course, be more interesting if backward installed batteries caused the flashlight to suck in light and cast a beam of darkness - but the real world does not work in this way
What else can I help you with?
When does chemical change happen on a flashlight to produce electricity?
It happens when you turn on the flashlight and a circuit is created through the batteries, through the light filament, back down the outside of the batteries to the end of the batteries, etc. Switching off the flashlight breaks the circuit, curtails the chemical reaction in the batteries, and the light goes out.
What happens when energy stored in a flashlight battery is used up?
The flashlight can not be turned on as it no power now.
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.
What happens if you put the batteries in a flashlight in the wrong direction?
If you put the batteries in a flashlight in the wrong direction, the electrical current won't flow properly, preventing the flashlight from turning on. It's important to insert the batteries according to the correct polarity indicated on the device to ensure it functions correctly.
What happens if the batteries terminal comes out of the battery?
Dead battery -will no longer charge.
What happens to a car if when attempting to boost a dead battery you inadvertantly cross the positive and negative on the dead battery?
If you cross the neg. with the pos. on a battery you could blow up both batteries and also blow the fuses on both cars.
What happens when you burn a flashlight battery?
It might explode. It will certainly send toxic gasses into the environment.
What happens when you inadvertanly crossed the positive battery terminal from a negative to a positive and a positive to a negative.?
What happens when you inadvertently crossed the positive battery terminal from a negative to a positive and a positive to a negative.?Read more: What_happens_when_you_inadvertanly_crossed_the_positive_battery_terminal_from_a_negative_to_a_positive_and_a_positive_to_a_negative.
What happens when you chnage a battery in an 2003 Aztek and you have full power but nothing happens?
Did it run before you swapped batteries or did you guess it was a bad battery. Did you have the old battery tested? If it ran before you swapped batteries then i would say you left something unhooked or the battery terminals are cruddy and need cleaned
What happens if rechargeable batteries are not recharged for a long time?
Rechargeable batteries that are not charged for a long time will still work sufficiently. Batteries that are overcharged will damage the battery.
If energy is not created or destroyed what happens to the light and heat of the flashlight?
energy cannot be created. Instead it changes forms of energy. the energy of a battery is chemical energy. the chemical energy from the battery changes to to electric energy when you turn it on. Then it changes again into heat and light energy. That energy will go on and change into some other kind of energy and so on forever.
What does battery no charge mean and what happens if it dies?
it means that you can't charge the battery and you need to replace the dead batteries with new ones
