   Fundamental questions.   
      
   Given:   
      
   If I wire two 3V 1mA batteries in parallel, the result is 3V 2mA.   
      
   If I wire two 3V 1mA batteries in series, the result is 6V 1mA.   
      
   BUT:   
      
   1. What happens if I wire the following in parallel:   
      
           3V 1mA   
           6V 1mA   
      
   2. And similarly, the following in series:   
      
           3V 1mA   
           3V 2mA   
      
   Does #1 above average the voltage to 4.5V?   
      
   Does #2 above average the current to 1.5mA?   
      
   Thanks!
