To have flow of electricity, you must make a complete circle of metal (or other conductor of electrons). This is called a circuit. If at any time the circuit becomes broken, the current automatically stops, because the power has nowhere to go.

How do you hook 2 12 volt batteries together together to get 24 volts in a positive ground tractor?

To connect 2 12-volt batteries in series to get 24 volts in a positive ground tractor, you would connect the positive terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery. Then, connect the positive terminal of the second battery to the positive terminal of the tractor, and the negative terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the tractor. This setup effectively combines the voltage of the batteries while maintaining the positive ground configuration.


How do you wire two 12 volt marine batteries together to run a 24 volt trolling motor?

To wire two 12 volt marine batteries together to run a 24 volt trolling motor, you should connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the other battery using heavy-duty jumper cables or battery interconnect cables. Then, connect the positive terminal of the trolling motor to the positive terminal of one battery and the negative terminal of the trolling motor to the negative terminal of the other battery. This setup will create a 24 volt system for your trolling motor.


What is the meaning of straight and reverse polarity?

Straight polarity refers to the welding setup in which the electrode is connected to the positive terminal and the workpiece is connected to the negative terminal. Reverse polarity is the opposite setup, with the electrode connected to the negative terminal and the workpiece connected to the positive terminal. These polarity settings affect penetration, heat distribution, and weld quality in different ways.


If you have two 1.5-V batteries and they have the positive terminal of one batery connected with the negative terminal of another how does that voltage compare with the voltage of a single battery?

When you connect the positive terminal of one 1.5V battery to the negative terminal of another, you create a series circuit. In this case, the voltage is additive, so the total voltage across the two batteries is 3V (1.5V + 1.5V = 3V), which is double the voltage of a single battery.


Connect a 12v wire to an amplifier?

Ensure the amplifier is turned off. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the 12V wire to the amplifier's positive terminal and the negative (-) terminal of the 12V wire to the amplifier's negative terminal. Once connected securely, you can then power on the amplifier.

Why do you not get battery symbol on your laptop sometimes after you on power supply in your laptop made by Toshiba model no A200?

Note: When interconnecting A200 batteries (cells), they must be identical in voltage and amp rating! Batteries may be connected in series. The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery; the positive terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third, and so on. The voltage of the assembled battery is the sum of the individual batteries. The batteries are connected: + to - to + to - to + to -, etc. The capacity of the battery is unchanged. Batteries may also be connected in parallel. The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second battery, the positive terminal of the second is connected to the positive of the third; the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery, the negative terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third and so on. The batteries are connected: + to + to + and - to - to -. In this configuration, the capacity is the sum of the individual batteries and voltage is unchanged.


What is positive about batteries?

One terminal is positive and the other terminal is negative. The positive terminal is slightly larger.


How do you know positive and negative terminals?

Look for a + by the positive terminal and a - by the negative terminal, or red for positive, black for negative. Some batteries have the positive terminal protruding and the negative terminal flat. Or you can get a meter that will tell you which is which,


When an ammeter is connected in a circuit which terminal of the battery must be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter?

The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.

How do you jump start two 12 batteries?

To jump start an engine via the battery; the remote battery and the host battery, being of the same voltage, should be connected in parallel. That is positive terminal to positive terminal, negative to negative.


Can you charge a 12 volt battery with a 24 volt charger?

I can if I charge 2 of them at a time. Most 24 volt chargers also have a 12 volt setting. What is hard to find is a 32 volt charger. We can charge a 12V battery with 24V charger, by connecting two 12V batteries in series i. e. the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second, now the charger positive terminal is connected to the first battery positive terminal and the negative terminal of the charger is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery.


Can a diagram for two 12V deep cycle motor home batteries connected to output 12V be supplied?

You just connect them in Parallel. Two 12 volt batteries connected in parallel will output 12 volts. Two connected in Series will output 24 volts. Just connect the negative terminal on the first battery to the negative on the second battery. Then connect the positive terminal on first battery to the positive on the second battery. Connect the cables to the second battery, positive to positive and negative to negative. Click the link for a diagram.


Why is there a plus and minus of batteries?

plus is the positive terminal (cathode) minus is the negative terminal (anode)


How do you hook two automotive 12 volt batteries and still get 12 volts?

In parallel. IE: Positive terminal to positive terminal, Negative terminal to negative terminal. Same as boosting a car batery.


How much terminals do batteries have?

Normally only two, a positive and a negative terminal.


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.
