How much voltage does four 4 5v batteries have when in sequence eg positive wire to negative back up to positive and so on Does it add up to 18 volts total or it remain at 4 5volts?

That type of arrangement is known as a "series" combination.
Its schematic diagram looks like this:
----ⱶ|-ⱶ|-ⱶ|-ⱶ|---
The voltage between its ends is the sum of the voltage of the individual
cells. If each unit is nominally a 4.5V battery, then the end-to-end voltage
is nominally 18 volts, but it can only supply as much current (amps) as any
single one of them can.
If all 4 positive ends were connected together, and all 4 negative ends
connected together, then you'd have a "parallel" combination. The nominal
output voltage would still be 4.5 volts, but it could supply 4 times as much
current (amps) as a single one of them can.

What are the meanings of positive and negative reduction potentials?
the meanings of positive and negative voltage
You are wiring a LED lamp through a transformer you have a polarized plug and you know positive and negative The transformer is marked live and neutral Does live correspond with positive or negative?
LED's are DC voltage. Transformers are AC voltage. There is no positive or negative on AC voltage. You would need a diode to change the AC to DC, then there would be positive and negative voltages.
Positive logic in a logic circuit is one in which?
In Positive logic, we all assume that the more positive (binary) voltage state is One, the less positive voltage state is Zero.Both voltage states could be positive, both could be negative, or they could be opposite polarities.
What is positive and negative voltage value?
generally we calculate voltage difference not absolute voltage but we say it voltage so if V(AB) is positive then V(BA) will be negative.V(AB) means voltage difference between A and B.
Is Voltage with respect to negative terminal taken as positive or negative?
im not sure how clearly your phrasing your question, but when dealing with circuits potential difference (voltage) is max, and at the positive terminal its zero. it decreases as you go around the circuit. hope this helps
How many batteries needed in a series circuit?
It depends on the load and desired voltage. The voltage adds as you put batteries in series. Positive to negative, etc.
How do you connect two batteries to work as one?
Type your answer here... To use two batteries as a single power source, you have to connect the positive to the negative and the remaining negative to ground. The remaining positive goes to the red positive cable. The batteries are now in a series circuit. If you use two 6 volt batteries the total voltage is 12 volts. If you use 2 12 volt batteries the total voltage is 24 volts. If you hook the batteries both negative to negative and positive to positive you have made a parallel circuit. Batteries in a parallel circuit cancel each other out. Two 6 volt batteries in parallel have a total voltage of 0 volts. klb
What happens if you connect two batteries of the same voltage positive pole to positive and negative to negative?
If the batteries have EXACTLY the same voltage, then nothing will happen, because there will be no voltage drop in the circuit, and hence no current. If the batteries have SLIGHTLY different voltages, then there will be a voltage drop in the circuit. Since there is low resistance, there might be high current, causing damage and/or an explosion. In all probability, however, there is enough internal resistance in the batteries to simply cause them to equalize in voltage.
Do you attach a battery's positive terminal to a positive terminal and a negative terminal to a negative terminal to increase their capacity?
positive (red wire) to positive post (+) negative (black wire) to negative post (-) positive (red wire) to positive post (+) negative (black wire) to negative post (-) posiItive (red wire) to positive post (+) negative (black wire) to negative post (-) If you want the batteries to provide the same voltage but more current, hook them up this way. If you want the voltage increased but the current remain the same, hook the up with negative post to positive post and so on, until the voltage is what you want. For example using regular flashlight batteries of 1.5 volts, the first way, using only two batteries, you still have 1.5 volts but the batteries now will last twice as long. Using the second way, the batteries last only just as long as a single battery but you have 3.0 volts instead.
What is a positive DC voltage?
A positive DC voltage is an electric potential where excess electrons will flow from negative to positive.AnswerYou appear to be mixing up potential difference (i.e. voltage) with potential. There is no such thing as a 'positive' voltage if you mean 'positive' in the sense of charge! 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', and you cannot have a positive or negative potential difference in this sense. You can only apply positive and negative in this sense to potentials.However, if you mean 'positive' in the sense of direction, then a positive voltage is one that is acting in the opposite direction to a negative voltage within the same circuit. For example, where two batteries have been connected in opposition.
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.
When a car has two batteries how do you connect the second one?
You conect them in parelell. Positive to positive, negative to negative, with either a 12 or 6 volt system. if you conect them in series you will double the voltage.
How do you wire up series batteries?
You must series the connection a positive terminal will connect to a negative terminal and so forth. the final voltage will add for additional batteries
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?
Connecting batteries + to - is said to be connecting them in series. The voltage from two batteries in series will be additave. So two 1.5 volt batteries in series will give you 3.0 volts.
2 12 volt batteries to 24 volt?
To get 24V from 2 12 V battery's Yo hook up the positive pole + of one of the battery's to the negative pole - of the other one. you will be left with a positive pole on each battery wit no connection on them The voltage between them is 24. If you want the battery to have the same voltage but have more amperage you connect positive to positive and negative to negative.
How does the voltage of a double battery compare to the voltage of a single battery?
The voltage depends on how the two batteries are connected to one another. If they are connected in a series circuit (positive end to negative end) the voltage will double. If they are wired in a parallel circuit, (It
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.
