🔍 Key Concepts

• Series vs. parallel battery connections • How voltage behaves in a series circuit • Each battery is 12 volts

💭 Think About

• In a series connection, what happens to the voltages of each battery—do they add together or stay the same? • If you have three equal 12-volt batteries in series, how would you combine their voltages mathematically? • How is this different from connecting three 12-volt batteries in parallel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm what series connection means (positive to negative, in a chain). • Multiply or combine the individual battery voltage (12 V) correctly for three batteries. • Make sure you are not thinking of amp-hours (capacity), which behaves differently than voltage.
