how to connect 2 dc motors with single battery – science project – diy – diypandit | DIY pandit

Connecting two DC motors to a single battery is a straightforward task. Here’s how to do it, with both motors running simultaneously from the same power source:

Materials Needed:

  • 2 DC motors
  • 1 battery (ensure it provides the appropriate voltage and current for the motors)
  • Wires
  • Soldering iron and solder (optional, for secure connections)
  • Electrical tape or wire connectors

Step by Step Video Instructions:

1. Prepare the Components:

  • Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on each motor.
  • Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the battery.

2. Wiring in Parallel:

  • Parallel wiring ensures each motor receives the full voltage of the battery, and the motors will run independently.
  • Cut two lengths of wire for each motor, one for the positive connection and one for the negative connection.

3. Connect the Positive Terminals:

  • Connect one end of a wire to the positive terminal of the battery.
  • Split this wire into two wires (using a wire connector or twisting them together).
  • Connect each of these two wires to the positive terminals of the two DC motors.

4. Connect the Negative Terminals:

  • Connect one end of another wire to the negative terminal of the battery.
  • Split this wire into two wires (using a wire connector or twisting them together).
  • Connect each of these two wires to the negative terminals of the two DC motors.

5. Secure the Connections:

  • Ensure all connections are secure and insulated using electrical tape or soldering for a more permanent connection.

6. Test the Setup:

  • Once all connections are made, test the setup by turning on the battery. Both motors should run simultaneously.

In this setup:

  • The positive terminal of the battery is connected to both motors’ positive terminals.
  • The negative terminal of the battery is connected to both motors’ negative terminals.

By wiring the two DC motors in parallel to a single battery, each motor receives the same voltage, ensuring they run effectively from the shared power source.
