A battery snap is a kind of connector, used on certain batteries.

Popular 9v batteries have terminals on them like a 'press stud'. They are polarized, one connection is like a claw and the other like a button. This make sure that the connection only fits one way round or on the correct terminals, preventing reverse polarity damage. Small batteries like the PP3, have the two connectors on one clip, or board. Larger batteries will have the connectors separate, one on each wire.

What is the electric current from a battery?

The electric current from a battery is the flow of charged particles, typically electrons, through a circuit. The current is measured in Amperes (A) and represents the rate at which charged particles move through the circuit. It is essential for powering electronic devices and creating electrical circuits.


What are elements of a circuit?

A simple circuit consists of a source of electro motive force ( EMF or voltage V ) This could be a battery,dynamo or solar cell. The circuit should do something, like light a lamp. For the lamp to glow there must be a flow of electrons called an electric current measure in Amperes (I). For the current to flow the circuit must form a closed loop, like a daisy chain. A switch is a device that breaks this loop and controls the state of the circuit. Closed circuit, switch closed, = lamp on Open circuit, switch not closed = lamp off


A device that provides an emf?

EMF (short for "electromotive force" - not a well-chosen name, since it isn't exactly a force) is more properly called a "voltage". A device that provides that can be a battery, or you can get the voltage from the outlets in your home.


Meaning or definition of voltage in a parallel circuit?

Voltage is the electrical potential that is produced by a given source (ie, a battery or a generator). The voltage is not changed by the type or number of loads on a circuit. A voltage regulator and/or transformer may change the voltage within a perticular load, but cannot change the complete circuit voltage.


Do all circuits contain electricity?

No, not all circuits contain electricity. A circuit is simply a closed loop through which electricity can flow. Electricity will only flow through a circuit if there is a power source, such as a battery or wall outlet, providing the electrical energy.

Why does a circuit stop working when you remove the battery?

The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.


If you have a circuit consisting of a battery and a wire What two factors determine the amount of current in the circuit?
