Batteries, circuits and how electricity flows, sentence 7

Two batteries in a row push about twice as hard as one, so more electricity flows; put in the wrong way round, they push against each other.

Who acts: Two batteries, more electricity, chemicals · What happens: push about, flow, put, push · To what, where: wrong way

This is a sentence of the lesson «Batteries, circuits and how electricity flows» of the physics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Two batteries, more electricity, chemicals), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×2, R6-punct-agree ×2, R7-rel-agree ×2. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
