What do I need to take multiple D cell batteries to power a 24 volt electric motor?

Question

I know this is not the best way to power the motor, but I'm trying to learn about what is needed to link together energy sources to power a motor.

Answer 1

Because D cells only produce 1.5 volts each. So you need 16 in series to boost the volatage to 24 V.

Answer 2

research ohm's law and series vs parallel.
