| Jun 1, 2021 at 20:13 | comment | added | trent | My answer says nothing about the "speed of electricity" because that is not part of the question, and it's not necessary to discuss the value of $c$ to explain that batteries are sources of potential, not field. In a hypothetical universe where $c$ were infinite (which is what we usually consider in low-frequency circuits anyway) this answer would still be right. Please explain exactly what you mean when you say my answer "violates the fact". | |
| Jun 1, 2021 at 20:08 | comment | added | trent | You asked "Why doesn't the voltage increase when batteries are connected in parallel?" This is the question I tried to answer. And are you now annoyed that I didn't answer a whole set of other barely related questions? I am just a volunteer writer on Stack Exchange, not your physics professor. If there are errors in my answer please do point them out; I accept that I might be wrong in some details. But I am simply not equipped to explain every aspect of electronics down to the quantum level, and you have rejected any analogical explanation, so I'm not sure what more I have to offer. | |
| Jun 1, 2021 at 19:04 | comment | added | Predaking Askboss | I am sick and frustrated of this useless conversation. It has not taken me to any decision. One explanation comes but violates the fact. There is no explanation in the whole answer and comment list that explains 1.why the potential is same across two parallel resistors?, 2.why the speed of electricity is C? and 3. Why on adding batteries in parallel the voltage doesn't increase?, at the same time! | |
| Jun 1, 2021 at 18:59 | comment | added | Predaking Askboss | "Batteries move charge to create electric field" what the heck i going on how can you achieve the speed of electricity that is C with charges motion causing electric fied. The charge motion is itself not fixed but changes with the electric field and other time. How can you explain then, why the speed of electricity is C if the electric field itself doesn't travel in wire. I think you are just trying to explain it the question given but ignoring and disproving other facts associated with it | |

| May 26, 2021 at 17:56 | comment | added | jawheele | This is the only answer that attempts to describe the actual mechanics OP is asking about, and it correctly identifies the main point: that batteries don't generate particular electric fields (which would then combine whether connected in series or parallel), but rather they elicit, through the pumping of charges via chemical reactions, whatever fields are necessary to maintain their potential difference. Regarding what the field is inside a current-carrying wire: generally, it's very weak and points in the direction of current flow. | |
