What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?

Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery.
If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.

How do batteries produce a voltage difference in a circuit?
they don't
In which circuit is the voltage the same across all branches?
Parallel circuit.
What type of circuit has the same voltage drop across each of its components?
A parallel circuit. Since a parallel circuit has only two nodes, there can be only one voltage difference between the nodes.
How does voltage change across an appliance in a parallel circuit?
With the minor voltage loss in the wiring, the voltage drop across a single appliance is the total voltage in the circuit, and doesn't change when more devices are added in parallel.
Can there be a different voltage across each component in a circuit?
Yes, if it is a series circuit. In an ideal parallel circuit, there is equal voltage in each leg. In a real circuit, results may vary if there is voltage loss in the wiring.
What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
What happens if increase voltage in parallel circuit?
If you keep all of them in series, then each component in your circuit will have more voltage across it and more current through it, and will dissipate more power (heat). If you keep all of the batteries in parallel, then they must all be rated for the same voltage. Nothing about the circuit's performance will change, but it'll be able to operate longer before the batteries die.
If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
What happens if you double the number of batteries used in a circuit?
the voltage and current doubles
Four9 V batteries are connected in parallel how much voltage is active across the circuit?
9 volts.
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.
Four 9-volts batteries are connected in parallel how much voltage is active across the circuit?
36 volts
Four 9-volt batteries are connected in parallel. how much voltage is active across the circuit?
36 volts
If Three 12 volt batteries are connected in parallel what is the effect on the circuit?
There will be no effect on the voltage. That is the effective voltage will be only 12 volt. But there will be increase of 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
How do you connect two batteries to work as one?
Type your answer here... To use two batteries as a single power source, you have to connect the positive to the negative and the remaining negative to ground. The remaining positive goes to the red positive cable. The batteries are now in a series circuit. If you use two 6 volt batteries the total voltage is 12 volts. If you use 2 12 volt batteries the total voltage is 24 volts. If you hook the batteries both negative to negative and positive to positive you have made a parallel circuit. Batteries in a parallel circuit cancel each other out. Two 6 volt batteries in parallel have a total voltage of 0 volts. klb
4 nine volt batteries are connected in parallel how much voltage is active across the circuit?
9 volts. They are in parallel, so the voltage remains the same. More current is available however.
