The circuit won't do anything until both terminals of the battery are connected

to the correct [two different] points in the circuit. As long as either terminal of

the battery remains disconnected, the circuit is "OFF".

This is written on the user manual of an electric shaver that it should be charged continuously and when the battery is low. Why is that?

The electric shaver appears to be capapble of operating on both mains electricity and the internal battery. Mains electricity will keep the battery recharged but if you use the battery to run the shaver then soon or latter the battery will run out of elctricity. Battery Low means No Working Shaver.


What is a fact for parallel circuits for kids?

A parallel circuit is a circuit that takes both legs to make a load.


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

Should you connect both ends of a battery to a circuit?

Should you connect both ends of a battery in a circuit?

Yes, both ends of a battery should be connected in a circuit to create a continuous flow of electric current. When one end of the battery is connected to one terminal of a component and the other end to the other terminal, a closed circuit is formed, allowing electricity to flow and power the device.


Should you connect both ends to a battery?

Not if it's explosive ?!?


Should you connect both ends of a battery into a circuit?

Yes, both ends of a battery should be connected into a circuit to ensure a complete path for the flow of electrons, which allows electrical devices to work properly. If only one end is connected, the circuit will be incomplete and no current will flow.


How are a Genecon and a Battery similar when they are connected to a circuit?

Both a Genecon and a battery can serve as sources of electrical energy in a circuit. When connected, both can provide the necessary voltage for current to flow and power the devices in the circuit.


What do you need to have a simple circuit?

Take a battery, a wire and a little light bulb. Put the wire on the flat part of the battery then put the other end of the wire on the side part of the bottom of the light bulb. Put the end of the light bulb on the top of the battery, dont touch the wire to the top when the light bulb is on it because is either shocks you or doesnt work.


What is a battery holder in a circuit?

A device that provides both mechanical support for and electrical contacts to a battery. In general there is no schematic circuit symbol for a battery holder, as the symbol for a battery tends to imply a battery holder is also present.


Are both ends of the battery or only one end connected to the lighted bulb?

Both ends of the battery are connected, to make a complete circuit.


What is an activity that would show graphite is a good conductor of electricity?

Take a pencil made of wood and sharpen it from both ends such that the tips become clear. Those black parts of pencil are graphite. Take a wire connect it to the bulb, then to a battery and connect the both ends of the pencil to the wire forming a circuit. When current flows from battery, it goes through wire and bulb lightens. Since the pencil is connected in the circuit, current also passes through it. It shows that it is a good conductor of electricity.

When a battery has two positive and two negative terminals is it ok to connect one battery to a second battery using the second terminal?

the two terminals both conect to the electrode of the battery,so, you can conect two batteries with the two "terminals" for parallel circuit or series circuit. Rocky_B - Yes you can do this to give yourself some extra amps, but connect the negative to the negative of the other battery and the positive to the positive of the other battery - This is what previous poster meant by parallel. Warning: If this is for an automobile electrical system, you do not want to connect it in series; i.e. Positive to solenoid, negative to positive of other battery, negative of other battery to ground, as it would be supplying over 24volts to a 12volt system and may seriously mess up your electrical system or cause wire insulation to heat up, melt, and cause fires.


Does a battery last longer in a series or parallel circuit?

A battery doesn't see a series or parallel circuit. It just supplies the current that is demanded by the load be it a series or parallel load. Visualize that a single load across a battery is both a series and parallel load to the battery.
