Is a circuit with 2 batteries and a light bulb a series circuit?
A circuit with two batteries and a light bulb can be a series circuit if the batteries and the light bulb are connected in a single path, meaning the current flows through each component one after the other. In this configuration, the voltage from both batteries adds up, and if one component fails, the entire circuit stops working. However, if the batteries are connected in parallel or if there are multiple paths for current to flow, it would not be considered a series circuit.
What happens to the amount of current in a series circuit as the number of batteries increase?
it increases
What happened when Volta connected the parts of his cells in circuit?
An electric current flowed around the circuit.
A circuit in which all the devices are connected in a single path is called?
A series circuit is one is which all current is restricted to one path. A good example of a device that is series-connected is a circuit breaker.
What will happen if part of the circuit is not properly connected?
Current stops flowing.
What are the differences between a series and parallel circuit when connecting batteries?
In a series circuit, batteries are connected end-to-end, increasing the total voltage but keeping the same current. In a parallel circuit, batteries are connected side-by-side, keeping the same voltage but increasing the total current.

Does batteries connected in parallel increase the current capacity to the circuit?
If each battery is identical, yes.
What happens if two lots of 12dc volts are applied?
It depends how they are connected. If the terminals of two 12 volt batteries batteries are connected to the same circuit (in parallel) then there is no change in the flow of current- it will just last for twice as long a time. But if two opposing terminals of the batteries are connected to each other first and the free terminals then connected to the circuit (in series) then there would be a total voltage of 24 volts and twice as much current would flow. The two batteries would last for the same length of time as one battery on its own.
What is the effect of changing the numbers of batteries in a circuit?
Before we can attempt an answer to that question, we'll need to agree on themeaning of the fuzzy, slippery phrase "amount of electricity". I'm going to interpretthat phrase to mean the current through the circuit.If the batteries are connected in series, then more batteries produce more currentthrough the circuit.If the batteries are connected in parallel, then the number of them has no effecton the magnitude of current through the circuit. But whatever the current is, morebatteries will cause it to flow in the circuit for a longer time, before they run down.
What is used to measure the current in a circuit and how is it connected?
To measure the current in the circuit an ammeter is used and it is connected in series
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 do you explain the effect of the number of batteries on the amount of current produced?
The number of batteries has only an effect on the amount of current when they are equivalent and connected in parallel. The amount of current that can flow from a group of batteries connected in series is limited to the current provided by the battery that produces the lowest current flow in the string.
A W pf capacitor is connected into a 240 V Hz circuit. what is the current flow in this circuit?
a 30 pf capacitor is connected into a 240v, 60 hz circuit. what is the current flow into the circuit
Four 9 volt batteries are connected in paralell how much voltage is active across the circuit?
9 Volts. By connecting this way you increase current potential (amperage) but not voltage.
How are batteries connected together to obtain more current capacity?
A way of connecting batteries together to provide more current is to connect them in parallel. This allows more capacity at the same voltage. If the batteries were connected in series the voltage would be increased.
How can an ammeter be connected in a circuit and not effect the flow of current?
The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.
