Question 35Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passThe individual 6 volt lead-acid batteries, when connected as shown in the illustration, as a battery bank would produce how many volts? Illustration EL-0070
A6
B12
C18
D24
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 6 volts. When individual 6-volt lead-acid batteries are connected in parallel, as shown in the illustration EL-0070, the voltage of the battery bank remains at 6 volts. This is because batteries connected in parallel share the same voltage, while the current capacity of the bank increases. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) 12 volts would be the result of connecting the batteries in series, not parallel; C) 18 volts and D) 24 volts are not possible configurations for a battery bank of 6-volt batteries connected in parallel.
