Yes, I am familiar with basic circuit elements, like capacitors, though now that you mention it, I would have the same conceptual gap for a capacitor in series. Most of my electronics knowledge comes more through tinkering than through classes (CS by training), so I am not very good at the...
Could you explain at a lower-level why a potential would not exist with an opposite end of another battery. As I see it, both its opposite and another opposite end have exactly the same opposite charge, why and how (could say the positive end) differentiate between the its own and another...
Excuse the newby question, but this is bothering me...
Could someone explain to me why two identical batteries when connected in series do not form internally a circuit between the touching positive end of one battery and the touching negative end of the other and proceed to short the ends in...
