  2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    If the cells of a battery are connected in parallel, the battery voltage will be the same as the cell voltage, but the current supplied by each cell will be a fraction of the total current. For example, if a battery comprises four identical cells connected in parallel and delivers a current of 1 ampere , the current supplied by each cell will ...

  3. Homopolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_motor

    A homopolar motor made with a battery cell and a coiled wire. DIY simple homopolar motor made with a drywall screw, a battery cell, a wire, and a disk magnet. The magnet is on the screw head. The screw and magnet make contact with the bottom of the battery cell and are held together by the magnet's attraction.

  4. Power inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

    The input voltage depends on the design and purpose of the inverter. Examples include: 12 V DC, for smaller consumer and commercial inverters that typically run from a rechargeable 12 V lead acid battery or automotive electrical outlet. [3] 24, 36, and 48 V DC, which are common standards for home energy systems.

  5. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

    Battery strings may also be wired as series-parallel, for example, two sets of 20 cells. In such a situation it is also necessary to monitor current flow between parallel strings, as current may circulate between the strings to balance out the effects of weak cells, dead cells with high resistance, or shorted cells.

  6. Daisy chain (electrical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_chain_(electrical...

    For example, chaining multiple components that each have a UART port to each other. The components must also behave cooperatively. e.g., only one seizes the communications bus at a time. SCSI is an example of a digital system that is electrically a bus, in the case of external devices, is physically wired as a daisy chain. Since the network is ...

  7. Battery holder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_holder

    Battery types such as the 9-volt have snap-on contacts. Battery holders for zinc-air batteries must not be completely air-tight since approximately 1 litre of air is required per ampere-hour of discharge per cell. The battery holder may include a valve integrated with the device power switch to allow air to be admitted when the device is ...

  8. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

    It is constructed from four resistors, two of known values R 1 and R 3 (see diagram), one whose resistance is to be determined R x, and one which is variable and calibrated R 2. Two opposite vertices are connected to a source of electric current, such as a battery, and a galvanometer is connected across the other two vertices. The variable ...

  9. Electrochemical cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_cell

    A wire connects two different metals (e.g. zinc and copper). Each metal is in a separate solution; often the aqueous sulphate or nitrate forms of the metal, however more generally metal salts and water which conduct current. [4] A salt bridge or porous membrane connects the two solutions, keeping electric neutrality and the avoidance of charge ...
