When two identical 3v batteries are connected in series with the negative terminal of one of them in contact with the positive terminal of the other the total voltage of the combination is 6v.

∙ 14y agoWhen two identical 6v batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage across the combination is still 6v.
However, batteries are very rarely identical, and connecting them in parallel can cause large eddy currents until the charges equalize. Do not connect batteries in parallel without proper protection.

How do you make a series and parallel connections experiment?
Two batteries, put them in series and either measure the voltage with a voltmeter, or with a fan connected watch the speed increase. A parallel connection will increase the current available but will not have an obvious change in output, as the current available is just that, ready for use. You can do something else with parallel and that is to have a volt meter showing that there is a current flow between the two batteries and that is why batteries connected in parallel will discharge.
What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
To increase voltage output when using more then one battery connect the batteries in?
To increase voltage output when using more then one battery connect the batteries in series.
Why the transformer connected on inverter output?
A transformer is connected to the output of inverter in order to step up the AC voltage output.
What will happen to the resistance and the brightness if you add a light bulb to the circuit?
If a rheostat is connected in parallel with a light bulb, the setting of the rheostat should have no effect on the performance of the light bulb, as long as the power supply is able to maintain its output voltage and deliver the current demanded by their parallel combination.
Can you change eight 6 volt batteries for four 12 volts in a golf cart and is it worth it?
That would depend how they are connected. Are all Eight 6 volt batteries connected in series giving a total output voltage of 48V. Or are they connected with 2 sets of 4 batteries in parallel then connected in series to give a 24V output.

You want to take 25ams output you are having 16 Nos of 12V 8Ah batteries do you have to connect batteries in series of parallel connection?
Parallel or Series Connections for BatteriesTo increase current [measured in Amperes], you connect batteries in parallel. To increase voltage, you connect batteries in series.
If you connect 2 12 volt batteries in parallel?
You will have a 12 Volt source with double the charge capacity.
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
Can you use 3 - 12 volt batteries instead of 6 - 6 volt batteries?
Don't know what your intentions are but the 6 - 6 volt batteries would probably deliver more amps. ======================================= -- If the batteries are connected in series, six 6's are exactly equivalent to three 12's. -- If they're operated in parallel, then the terminal voltage of six 6-volt batteries is still just 6 volts. There's no way to connect 12-volt batteries and make them look like 6-volt units in parallel. It's really important to find out exactly how the original 6-volt batteries are connected in the device. 1). They may be all in parallel, giving an output of 6 volts. 2). They may be all in series, giving an output of 36 volts. 3). They may be connected in three parallel branches of two series units each, for an output of 12 volts. 4). They may be connected in two parallel branches of three series units each, for an output of 18 volts. If you know what you're doing, you can replace them with 12-volt units in cases 2). and 3)., but not in cases 1). or 4).
What is the voltage of 4 AAA batteries?
The output voltage depends on how they're connected; In parallel, the voltage supplied will be 1.5 V. In series, the voltage supplied will be 6 V.
To increase voltage output when using more then one battery connect the batteries in?
To increase voltage output when using more then one battery connect the batteries in series.

The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
What is the voltage output of 4 AA batteries?
An AA battery is nominally 1.5 volts, so if the four batteries are wired in series (+ of one to - of the next), the voltage is nominally 6 volts. However, the batteries could also be wired in parallel, with all four positive terminals connected together and all four negative terminals connected together. Then the voltage would be 1.5 volts. To make it even more complicated, you could also wire two pairs, with each battery wired in series to its twin, but with the two pairs wired in parallel to each other. Then the voltage is 3.0 volts.
To increase amperage output using more than one batteries connect the batteries?
Parallel
Why the transformer connected on inverter output?
A transformer is connected to the output of inverter in order to step up the AC voltage output.
