If three 6 volt batteries are connected in series the overall voltage in circuit is?
Regardless of the number and value of the resistors, total voltage drop in a series circuit will equal the voltage rise, or the applied voltage. Apply 6 volts to three series resistors and the sum of the voltage drops will be 6 volts. No mystery here. Think it through and it will lock in. To get you ready for more "advanced" analysis, Kirchhoff said the algebraic sum of the voltages in any closed loop is zero. Going all the way around a series circuit, we'd encounter the battery, and all the series resistors. The battery is a voltage rise, and the resistors are voltage drops. The polarity of a voltage rise is opposite that of a voltage drop. This means that when they are added algebraically, if they are equal, they will sum to zero. Work this with a battery connected across a single resistor to get a handle on it. You'll need the ideas to manage calculations in loops of parallel circuits. Remember that in any closed loop, the algebraic sum of the voltages is zero.

Can you charge both batteries on a diesel by putting the charger on one battery?
This depends on how the batteries are connected and what the voltage of the charger is.Open a discussion question page with this information for a complete answer.
What occurs to voltage in a series and parallel circuit?
In a DC parallel circuit, equal voltage is applied to each device that is connected in parallel. For example, if three devices are connected in parallel to a 9 volt battery, each device will have 9 volts applied to it. In a DC series circuit, the sum of the voltage drops across each device connected in series equals the source voltage. So say you have three devices connected in series, and they are connected across a 9 volt battery. Each device will have less than 9 volts across it, but if you add the voltage drops across each device togther, it will equal 9 volts. Batteries in series have an additive effect to the voltage. A single AA battery has 1.5V. Two in series will have 3.0V. Batteries in parallel do not experience an additive effect to voltage. To answer this question briefly there is a big difference. The major difference is the resistance the circuit offers when the same components are wired in series or parallel. I do not know how much you want to know, but resistance of a component is measured in Ohms. An easy way to think of ohms is how much force or energy is required to move an object. The less ohms a circuit has the more it can do with the same amount of energy, which in some cases can be a bad thing. To move on, lets say you have two light bulbs, to give a cliche example, and both are 2 ohm load. Now if you wired these two light bulbs in series, connect positive of one bulb to negative of the other and then the others to a battery, the bulbs would be half as bright as one bulb to the same battery. Yet if you wired these in parallel there brightness would be the same as if one light bulb was connected to the circuit. This is because the voltage in the parallel circuit doesn't decrease when you add a light bulb, whereas on the series circuit it does decrease. Hope that helps
What are the differences between emf and voltage drop?
emf and voltageAnswerElectromotive force is the potential difference created by a source, such as a battery or generator, when it is not connected to a load -in other words, on 'open circuit'.Voltage drop is the potential difference across a load, such as a resistor, which causes current to flow through that load.A voltage drop occurs, internally, in batteries and generators, when they are supplying a load. The battery or generator's terminal voltage, when supplying a load, is its e.m.f. less its internal voltage drop.
What happens if you add more batteries to a circuit?
Depends on how you add them. Added in series, the voltage will increase, maybe to the point of damaging the LED. If the LED survives, it will shine brighter. Added in parallell, the LED will shine the same, and will be able to shine longer before draining the batteries.
If you have four batteries in series what is the output voltage?
depends on the voltage of the batteries.. four 12 volt car batteries would output 4x12 = 48 v
How must batteries be connected in order to increase the voltage in a circuit?
in series
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.
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 can two batteries be connected in series to create a circuit?
To connect two batteries in series, you would connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the other battery. This creates a circuit where the voltage of the batteries adds up, providing a higher total voltage for the circuit.
What is two batteries in a circuit called?
If the batteries are connected from + (positive) to - (negative) then the batteries are connected in "series". If the batteries are AA (1.5v each), then the resulting voltage of the two connected in series will be 3.0v. If the batteries are connected + to + and - to -, then they are connected in "parallel" and for the same batteries the voltage would be 1.5v, but would last twice as long as one battery by itself. A truck battery system is two 12v batteries connected in series (+ to -) to give the truck a running power of 24v.
Four9 V batteries are connected in parallel how much voltage is active across the circuit?
9 volts.
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.
What are the differences between a parallel and series circuit when it comes to connecting batteries?
In a parallel circuit, batteries are connected side by side, allowing each battery to provide power independently. In a series circuit, batteries are connected end to end, increasing the total voltage but requiring all batteries to work together to provide power.
What is the total voltage of batteries connected in parallel?
When batteries are connected in parallel, the total voltage remains the same as the voltage of a single battery.
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.
