Question

Whenyou connect two batteries in a series, you add the voltages available in each battery and get the total voltage available to the circuit. What is the total voltage available when you place two 1.5­volt batteries in a series?

a 1.5 volts
b 3 volts
c 2 volts
d 30 volts

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

As we know that the voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops." This simply means that the voltage drops have to add up to the voltage coming from the battey or batteries. 5V + 3V = 8V.

So in this question, the correct answer is b.

Because, there are two batteries in a series circuit, each has 1.5 volts. when we add the voltage of these two batteries , we will get the total voltage i.e 3 volts from both batteries.
