It's probably only a 1.2V LED. It just depends if the batteries are connected in series or parallel.

When a three light circuit is connected in series with 2 6V batteries what is the voltage across each of the lights?

If a three light circuit is connected in series with two 6V batteries, and the three lights are identical, the voltage across each of the lights is 12V divided by 3, or 4V.


Is it normal for a transformer to buzz?

Sometimes. It depends on the size of the light (watts), the operating voltage, and the line voltage. Very large high voltage lights often buzz.


If 2 batteries in a simple circuit are arranged neg to neg terminals touching will the bulb light?

If you put two batteries of the same voltage with like terminals touching each other in series the equal, but opposite voltages will cancel each other and the light bulb will not light, because there is no current flowing through it.


What produces more light series or parallel circuits?

A series circuit will produce more voltage. For example, two 12 volt automotive batteries both have a 600 amp capacity. Connect the 2 batteries in series and you will have 24 volts with 600 amp capacity. Connect the 2 batteries in parallel and you will have 12 volts with 1200 amp capacity.


What is the basic operation of a batteries?

A chemical reaction generates free electrons which build up a potential called a voltage and then the electrons can be drawn from the battery as a current to supply a load like a flashlight light bulb or your cell phone. Some batteries can be recharged to provide additional free electrons in conjunction with the chemical reaction.

Could batteries light a light bulb?

Yes, even a potato can light a light bulb. Yes. If the batteries match the voltage of the bulb, they can light it. Flashlights have bulbs and batteries that power them. If you mean a household light bulb, then you'd need many batteries in series (80 of the 1.5 volt batteries).


How many batteries does it take to burnout a light bulb?

Enough so that the total voltage exceeds the voltage rating of the lightbulb.


Does a bulb light up if you use batteries with different sizes?

If you are talking about batteries of different physical sizes but of the same voltage then the answer is yes. The light bulb requires a specific voltage to operate. As long as the batteries add up to the voltage that the bulb requires, the lamp will light properly. Larger batteries usually have a greater operational capacity. The load being of equal amperage draw, the D cell load will operate longer than a AAA cell load.


How many batteries can light up bulbs?

This question cannot be answered without knowing at least the voltage of the light bulbs and also the voltage of the battery that is being asked about.


Where can someone purchase low voltage garden lights?

Low voltage garden lights are a great way to light up your garden without using a lot of electricity. Lowe's, Home Improvement, TruValue sell garden lights.


Will 10 10000 amp batteries power a 1000 watt light?

To do a proper calculation please state what the voltage of the batteries equals. I have never come across 10000 amp batteries.

What is the voltage supply used in flash lights?

Because a flash light is a portable piece of equipment, it operates on batteries. The power source is a DC voltage.


Why series arrangement of batteries brighter than parallel arrangement of batteries?

Connecting batteries in series increases available voltage. Connecting them in parallel increases available current. Ohm's law states that when resistance is constant (and a light bulb is a constant resistance, to a point), the current flowing through will be directly proportional to the voltage. And when the voltage doesn't change, the only way to change the flowing current is to lower the resistance - as in, put in a smaller light bulb.

How much light does a solar garden lamp emit?

The light emitted is variable dependant on the model and brand of light. depends on model but some units have as much as 60k candles which is almost 100 times that of conventional low voltage garden lights


How does the potential difference across the light when batteries are added in series compare to parallel?

When the batteries are connected in parralell, the voltage remains the same as a single battery, but the current capability is doubled. When connected in series, the voltage doubles at the light, but the current remains the same as if a single battery was connected. Ohm's Law E=IxR R=E divided by I I=E divided by R E=Voltage R=Resistance I=Current
