Go read a book explaining what a resistor is. A circuit can behave completely different. You really need to get your basic electronics knowledge sorted out, I mean, read a book about it or somehow educate yourself. | |

| Oct 22, 2017 at 10:27 | comment | added | Wouter van Ooijen | When the same resistance is used in both situations the current does increase. | |
| Oct 22, 2017 at 10:08 | comment | added | Tom Carpenter | Are you by any chance confusing current (mA) with capacity (mAh)? | |
| Oct 22, 2017 at 10:02 | comment | added | Bimpelrekkie | You mention Ohm's law, this law applies to resistors and only resistors. So if the load is not a resistor... | |
| Oct 22, 2017 at 10:00 | comment | added | VVK | @pjc50 So you mean - When the batteries are connected in series the just voltage is increased. There is no impact on current as it would be drawn as needed by the ckt attached to battery? | |
| Oct 22, 2017 at 10:00 | comment | added | Bimpelrekkie | Connecting two 5V batteries in series will produce 10V voltage but the current will be the same. In both cases the current will be 0 A (Zero Ampere) as no current will flow because you did not connect a load. It depends on the load how much current will flow. For simple loads like lightbulbs and resistors, the current will double when you double the voltage. | |
| Oct 22, 2017 at 9:56 | comment | added | pjc50 | Because batteries are power sources not resistors, and therefore don't follow ohm's law. Also they don't have "a" current, they have a "maximum" current. | |
