When a device uses two batteries why do they have to be placed positive to negative?
Batteries placed in series (which is what you're describing) add their voltages together. Thus two 1.5 volt batteries give 3 volts in series ... IF they point in the same direction. If they point in opposite directions, you get zero volts.
Do batteries that are arranged in series produce a higher voltage than batteries arranged in parallel?
Batteries in parallel maintain constant voltage across the load rather in a series, so it is better to arrange the batteries in parallel Batteries in series deliver a higher voltage, batteries in parallel have longer life use.
If two 2-volt batteries are connected in a series how many volts are available to the circuit?
The formula you are looking for is Vt = V1 + V2.
HOW MANY VOLTS ARE IN THE BATTERIES WE HAVE USED?
The small batteries (dry cells) used for many electronic devices usually have approximately 1.5 volts. Car batteries (which have several cells working in series) usually have around 12 volts. Other batteries may have other voltages.
How do you connect 2 6 volt batteries in parallel to make 12 volts?
If you connect 2 six volt batteries in parallel it will still give you six volts but it will give you twice the cranking power. To obtain twelve volts from the two six volt batteries they will have to be connected in series.
Addition of batteries increase the total voltage?
Yes.If you connect the batteries in series the total voltage will be the sum of the voltages of the batteries.For example if you connect a 12 volt battery in series with a 6 volt battery the total voltage will be 18 volts.
How can I connect batteries to increase voltage?
To increase voltage, you can connect batteries in series. This involves connecting the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of another battery. The total voltage will be the sum of the individual battery voltages. Make sure the batteries are of the same type and capacity for best results.
Why are batteries sometimes joined in series?
Batteries are connected in series to add their voltages together. For example, two car batteries in series will give twenty four volts.
What is the volts when 1.5v. batteries are wired in series as the total source.?
All batteries connected in series have additive voltages. All same voltage batteries connected in parallel have the same voltage as one of the parallel battery but their amp hour capacity is increased. Example series wound batteries of four 1.5v batteries, would lite a big 6v flashlight. (all 1.5v batteries = Et= 1.5v x4=6volts). That is the big square battery to lite square flashlights.

What should batteries be connected to in order to obtain higher voltage?
To obtain a higher voltage, batteries should be connected in series. In a series connection, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next, which allows the voltages of each battery to add together. For example, connecting two 1.5V batteries in series results in a total voltage of 3V. This method increases the overall voltage while maintaining the same capacity (amp-hour rating) as a single battery.
What is parallel car battery wiring?
parallel battery wiring is hooking 2 batteries together in parallel series give you double the volts Clarification: Parallel battery wiring is where two or more batteries are hooked together in parallel (i.e. both/all positive battery terminals are wiredtogether, and both/all negative battery terminals are wired together. This results in a battery voltage which is the same as that of the individual batteries (typically 12V in most cars). The reason for doing this is to boost battery capacity- two identical batteries wired in parallel give twice the electical storage capacity of one battery. No increase in voltage is obtained with parallel wiring. Series wiring is where two or more batteries are hooked together in series (i.e. positive terminal of the first battery is hooked to the negative terminal of the second battery). The resulting voltage is the sum of the individual battery voltages - if two 12V batteries are hooked together, the resulting voltage will be 24V. No increase of storage capacity is obtained with series wiring.
How do you wire three 12 volt batteries to get 36 volts?
The batteries need to be wired in a series configuration. Wire the negative of the first battery to the positive of the second battery, and the negative of the second to the positive to the third. If the batteries were placed in a straight line they will look like train cars, with all positive ends of the batteries pointing in the same direction. The batteries voltages are now added together for three 12 volt batteries making 36 volts.
What is the voltage of 6 AA batteries?
The voltage of 6 AA batteries connected in series is 9 volts. Each AA battery typically provides 1.5 volts, so when connected in series, their voltages add up.
Can you wire batteries of different voltages in series to obtain a specific voltage?
Yes you can. Though it is not recommended as it usually shortens the life of one of the batteries used.
