Question 357Electricity/Electronics - QMED70% to pass
In the illustration, 1, 2, 3 and 4 are 12 volt batteries. What will be the nominal voltage as read by a voltmeter across the output of the battery bank? Illustration EL-0107
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 24 volts.
In the illustration, the four 12-volt batteries are connected in series. When batteries are connected in series, their voltages add up. Since there are four 12-volt batteries, the total nominal voltage across the battery bank will be 4 x 12 = 24 volts.
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) 6 volts is the voltage of a single battery, not the total voltage of the battery bank.
B) 12 volts is the voltage of a single battery, not the total voltage of the battery bank.
D) 48 volts is not the correct voltage, as the four 12-volt batteries are connected in series, not in parallel.
