Does adding more identical batteries in series allow more charge to be supplied or just affect the rate of charge being moved or both? Thanks.
Battery Series: More Charge or Rate Affected?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
Adding identical batteries in series increases the potential difference across the batteries but does not affect the rate of charge supplied. The discussion clarifies that the configuration of batteries in series is unrelated to the charging rate unless specified within a circuit context. Therefore, the primary outcome of connecting batteries in series is an increase in voltage, not charge rate.
