More cells = more available power. Power = voltage * current. The orientation of the cells determines whether this power is delivered as more voltage, or more current. If the cells are in series, the voltage will increase proportionately and the available current will remain unchanged; if the cells are in parallel, the current will increase proportionately and the voltage will remain unchanged.

What is an unbroken electrical path?
An unbroken circuit could be called a complete circuit or a closed circuit.
What happens if you add more cells to a circuit?
If the cells are added in series, then the terminal voltage will increase, as would the internal resistance. If they are added in parallel, then the voltage would remain the same as for one cell, but the internal resistance would fall, and the available charge (in ampere hours) would increase.
What are the laws of series and parallel connection?
1.In series connection the total resistance is equal the total number of resistor that was connected in series 2.the current is constant in a series connection 3.in a series connection total voltage is equal the number of of volt per cells
What is the purpose of the inverter In a photovoltaic solar power plant?
Ernie Ramhoff
Why are parallel circuits rather than series circuits used in house wiring?
Loads receive current independently of each other.
How does increasing the number of cells in a parallel circuit affect the current?
by adding resistance in parallel more current is bound to flow
What happened to the reading of ammeter and voltmeter if the number of dry cells are added in the circuit?
Assuming you add more cells in series, the voltage will increase. If you don't change the resistance of the circuit, this in turn will also increase the current.
What happened when Volta connected the parts of his cells in circuit?
An electric current flowed around the circuit.
What kind of current is produced by dry cells?
Simply, direct current (DC). The amount of current depends on the circuit it is used in.
When you connect cells in series which two quantities are the same for all cells?
When battery cells are connected in series and a conducting circuit is connected between the terminals of the string, the current out of the positive terminal of each cell and the current into the negative terminal of each cell are all the same number.
How many miliamperes are produced when 4 D cells are in series circuit?
The current in the circuit is(6,000)/(the resistance connected between the terminals of the D cells, in ohms)milliamperes
Three electric cells each have a voltage of 1.3Vwhat is the total voltage of the three cells if the cells are connected in parallel?
voltage is still 1.3V in parallel circuit, voltage stays the same but current adds up in series circuit, voltage adds up but current stays the same
What is current drain cells?
the current in the drain circuit of a field effect transistor.
What happened when volta connected the parts of his cells in a circuit?
when he connected the parts he got an electric current.
What will happen if more bulbs are added to a circuit with one cell?
YESAnswerNot necessarily. The current depends on the potential difference and the load resistance. If you connect cells in parallel, you do not effect its voltage or the load, so the current is unaffected (although the battery's current 'capacity' will increase). If you connect the cells in series, then you will increase the voltage and the current will increase.
Can 2 cells push electric current harder round a circuit?
were u doing the rue and false worksheet for science
When a supply is given to a circuit how is current produced?
The current is produced when the electrons(electrically charged particles) begin to move. The faster they move, and the more there is, the stronger the current! But if you had lots of cells(batteries) and fewer obstacles, such as bulbs, the current would be stronger. If the current is too high, the filament in the bulb overheats and bursts, breaking the circuit. If you had only a single or few cells, and many obstacles, the current would become weak as resistance built up and the electrons found it hard to flow.
