Question about voltage.

[Plague.Jester]

[glow=green,2,300]Say I have a 9v battery, and I have a wire hooked up to it.  If I split that wire into two more wires later on, and then those two into two more wires, will there be 9v at the end of each wire, or will it be 2.25v at the end of each?  I'm sorry my questions are such elementary ones, but I just got an interest in electricity a day or two ago, and I know NOTHING on the subject.  Thanks for all your help.[/glow]

All the point there will be 9v because the root is same.....

[glow=green,2,300]Thank you so much! So there will be NO change?[/glow]

The wiring in your house is "split" between all the outlets and lights. The voltage is the same at all of them.
The wiring in your city is "split" between all the neighbourhoods. The voltage is the same at all of them.
The same with your battery and millions of wires connected to it.

[glow=green,2,300]Okay, thank you guys.  Does anyone care to explain how it remains exactly the same?  Does it take more energy from the battery because I'm doing it this way?[/glow]

Wires connected to other wires don't discharge a battery. The voltage of the battery will remain the same because no energy is taken from it. A load connected across the terminals of a battery will discharge it and take energy from it.

If a wire from one terminal of the battery touches a wire from the other terminal of the battery then it is a short circuit and the battery will be quickly discharged.

A load for a battery is usually a light bulb or an electric motor.
