Connect positive to negative, leaving the end positive and negative connections free to power circuits or devices. Connecting batteries in series adds the voltage of the batteries. For instance, connecting three 12v car batteries in series will create a total of 36v, enough for welding.

What is the difference between series and parallel diodes?

Connecting diodes in series:Connecting diodes in series will increase the forward voltage of the resultant diode.Connecting diodes in series will cause an open circuit until peak inverse voltage (smallest diode) is applied on total resultant.Connecting diodes in parallel:Connecting diodes in parallel will increase the current carrying capacity of the diode.Connecting diodes in parallel will not get you a resultant diode conduction in both sides.


You are building a string of lights using several bulbs how is the brightness of the lights related to whether you connect the bulbs in series or in parallel?

Overall brightness (not individual bulbs' brightness) will increase when we connect them in parallel & it will decrease when we connect them in series.


Is 1N4007 OA79 silicon or germanium diode?

The entire 1N40xx series of power diodes are all silicon. The OA79 small signal diode is germanium.


How surge current is produced in a capacitor input filter?

Being that the capacitor appears as a short during the initial charging, the current through the diodes can momentarily be quite high. To reduce risk of damaging the diodes, a surge current limiting resistor is placed in series with the filter and load.


How a combinational clipper works?

A combinational clipper is a type of electronic circuit used to limit or "clip" the amplitude of an input signal. It typically consists of diodes and resistors arranged in a specific configuration. Here's a basic explanation of how a combinational clipper works: **Input Signal**: The input signal is the waveform that you want to clip. It could be a sine wave, square wave, or any other waveform. **Diodes**: The key components in a clipper circuit are diodes. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction. In a combinational clipper, diodes are arranged in such a way that they conduct when the input signal exceeds a certain voltage level (called the clipping level). **Clipping Level**: The clipping level is the voltage level at which the diodes start conducting. It determines the maximum (positive or negative) amplitude of the output signal. **Resistors**: Resistors are used to limit the current flow through the diodes and to set the clipping level. They are connected in series with the diodes and the input signal. **Output Signal**: The output signal is obtained across the diodes. When the input signal exceeds the clipping level, the diodes start conducting, effectively "clipping" the signal. This means that any portion of the input signal above (or below, depending on the configuration) the clipping level is removed, resulting in a clipped output waveform. **Configuration**: The configuration of the diodes and resistors determines the clipping characteristics of the circuit. For example, in a simple clipper circuit, one diode may be connected in series with the input signal in a forward bias configuration, causing it to clip the positive portion of the waveform. Similarly, another diode may be connected in series in a reverse bias configuration to clip the negative portion of the waveform. Overall, a combinational clipper works by selectively conducting current through diodes to limit the amplitude of the input signal, resulting in a clipped output waveform.

How is series clipper differ from parallel clipper?

Series clipper diodes are in series connection with the load while Parallel clippers are in parallel connection with the load.


When the output of two 5.6 volts zener diodes circuits are connected in series do you obtain 2x5.611.2 volts?

If you are saying that the Zeners are connected in series, the answer is Yes.


You need a 1watt zener diode for your circuit but you have only four .25W If you connect four .25 Watt of zener diodes in parallel Is it the resultant wattage become 1 Watt?

No, four zener diodes in parallel will not increase the power rating of the set. This is because one zener will always conduct first, so it will be the only one that has current through it. If, however, you put four zener diodes in series, each with a voltage rating one quarter your desired voltage, you can achieve a higher power rating for the set.


What is the best way to regulate the voltage when a charger for batteries up to 14V and a 12V camera are plugged into a 12 volt battery and turned on at the same time?

The nominal voltage of a led-acid battery is 13.5 V (almost 14). All equipment connected to 12 V batteries are design to withstand the 13.5 V and a little more. If worried, connect one or two silicon diodes in series from the + terminal of the battery to your camera, as follows: _____ _____ (+)-------[_____]-----[_____]------(o) Battery Cathode Cathode Camera input terminal The diodes will create a constant voltage drop of 0.7 V each. If you mount them inside a lamp switch, when the switch is on, the diodes will be short-circuited (charger off); when the switch is off, th diodes will be inserted in series (charger on)

How can you designed transistor using diode because no available transistor?

You cannot build a transistor with two diodes. Even though the static junction characteristics of a transistor "looks like" two back to back series diodes, there is a relationship between the two junctions that cannot be matched by just connecting two diodes together.
