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.

What happens in a parallel circuit when one battery is added?

When a battery is added to a parallel circuit, the total voltage in the circuit increases as the new battery adds its voltage to the existing voltage sources. The total current in the circuit may also increase as the additional voltage motivates the charges to flow through the parallel branches of the circuit.


What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?

The supply voltage in a parallel circuit remains the same regardless of the number of additional resistors connected. The voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit is the same as the supply voltage. Adding more resistors in parallel will increase the total current drawn from the supply.


What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance remains the same when the voltage applied is doubled. Each branch in the parallel circuit will experience the same increase in voltage, but their individual resistances will remain constant.


What happens in a circuit if you increase the voltage of the battery driving it?

The power in the circuit will increase.


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 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.


What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.


How much voltage does each branch of a parallel circuit?

Yes. The voltage across every branch of a parallel circuit is the same. (It may not be the supply voltage, if there's another component between the power supply and either or both ends of the parallel circuit.)


What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?

Voltage remains constant; current increases.


What is the voltage drop running through the parallel potion of the circuit?

A: There is no voltage drop running through in a parallel circuit but rather the voltage drop across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same


What is the same in each branch of a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same.


What happens when one or more light bulbs are added to the circuit?

A: If put in series current will decrease if put in parallel current will increase assuming the input voltage remains the same
