If you add a battery to a series circuit what will happen to the current in the circuit

Physics

Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

If there wasn't any battery before, then there was no current
in the circuit before, and there IS one now.  That's just about
the greatest change possible.

If there WAS a battery there before and you added another one
in series with it, then there are a few different possibilities for the
effect on the current in the circuit:

-- If the new battery has the same voltage as the original one,
AND you connect the new one so that they're both in the same
direction, then the current in the circuit will become double the
original current (twice as much as it was before).

-- If the new battery has the same voltage as the original one, AND
you connect the new one so that they're in opposite directions, then
the two batteries cancel each other, the total voltage becomes zero,
and the current in the circuit completely disappears.

-- If the voltage of the two batteries is different AND you connect
the new one so that they're both in the same direction, then the
current in the circuit increases, by a factor of

         (sum of the two battery voltages)
divided by
         (voltage of the original battery alone).

-- If the voltage of the two batteries is different AND you
connect the new one so that they're in opposite directions,
then the current in the circuit decreases, by a factor of

           (difference of the two battery voltages)
divided by
            (voltage of the original battery alone)

and the current flows in the direction of whichever battery has
the greater voltage.  If the new battery has greater voltage than
the original one alone, then the current reverses, and flows in
the opposite direction.

I think that covers all the possibilities.

Explain how you think an asteroid impact could affect the tilt of Earth’s axis. Explain how this effect would change Earth’s sea
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

An asteroid impact could affect the tilt of the Earth due to the force it applies onto the planet. This would change Earth's seasons due to the fact that Earth's tilt causes seasons.

all objects near the earths surface-regardless of size and weight have the same force of gravity acting on them. is it true or f
pickupchik [31]

False: the force of gravity acting on different objects is different and depends on their mass

Explanation:

The answer is false.

The force of gravity acting on an object (also known as weight) near the Earth's surface is given by:

F=mg

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

We see from the formula that the force of gravity acting on an object depends on the mass: the larger the mass of the object, the stronger the gravitational force acting on it, and the smaller the mass, the weaker the force of gravity.

The factor that does not change is the acceleration of gravity, which is constant (9.8 m/s^2) if we are near the Earth's surface, and implies that all the objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate towards the ground, regardless of their size and weight.

What are some ways scientists can study the seafloor?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: A device records the time it takes sound waves to travel from the surface to the ocean floor and back again. Sound waves travel through water at a known speed. Once scientists know the travel time of the wave, they can calculate the distance to the ocean floor.
