    Difference in current to load with series/parallel sources

    Thank you Jiggy-Ninja and everyone else who commented. It all makes a bit more sense now!

    Difference in current to load with series/parallel sources

    So two 1.5 volt batteries in parallel will supply 15 mA not 30 because the current depends solely on the voltage, if I understand you correctly. So why is it that sometimes car batteries are connected in parallel to deliver larger amounts of current (this is what I've heard people say). Car...

    Difference in current to load with series/parallel sources

    I feel this is a very simple question, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it. For example, if you have two 1.5 volt batteries in series and a load of 100 ohms then the total voltage is 3 volts and the current is 30mA because I=V/R. If you have two 1.5 volt batteries in parallel then the...
