Experiment 5: Let’s Make a Battery Higher water level
Greater force creates more flow, because amperage = voltage / resistance, and the voltage has gone up, while the resistance has remained the same.
Higher voltage
Same resistance
Figure 1-80. When you place two equal batteries in series, you double the voltage.

1.5 volts for twice as long
3 volts
1.5 volts
Figure 1-79. Greater force generates more flow, as long as the resistance remains the same.
Figure 1-81. Two equal batteries that are wired in parallel will deliver the same voltage for twice as long as one.
