How to Calculate Battery Total Voltage in series Battery Connection ?
How to wire batteries in series:
The series connection is the one of the type of battery connection. Series connections of batteries will change in voltage rating, but the current will be stay the same.
What is a series connection of battery?
The current is the same through each component regardless of what components are used or their values in series connection. The voltage drops across each component in the circuit are dependent upon the values of the components used in the circuit
Question:
Solution:
As per previous description voltage will be the change and current will be the remains same battery series connection.
Here we have 5 volt battery voltage of each battery and we need to find total voltage of this series connected batteries, means voltage between point A and B.
In a series circuit share the same current: I Total = I1 + I2 + . . . +In
The sum of the individual resistances: R Total = R1 + R2 + . . . Rn
Total Sum of the individual voltage drops E Total = E1 + E2 + . . . En
Important Note For Solution
- Total Voltage is equal to sum of the individual battery voltage.
Now we Go for the solution of the question
Total Voltage V= sum of individual voltage of battery
V= V1 + V2 + V3 + V4
V= 5 + 5 + 5 + 5
V= 20 volt
Or we can also solve this question by using another method which is describe below:
This method is applicable when the each battery voltage will be the same. So in this case all the battery voltage would be the same.
Total Voltage V = No. Of Batteries × Individual Battery voltage
= 4 × 5
V = 20 volt
So Final Answer is Total Voltage V = 20 volt
