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 when Volta connected the parts of his cells in circuit?
An electric current flowed around the circuit.
How does adding more cells in series affect the current?
Ohm's law (V = I*R) dictates that if voltage is increased, current must increase proportionately if the resistance stays the same.
When cells are connected in parallel then?
putting cells in series gives you a higher voltage but at the same current rating. putting cells in parallel gives you the same voltage but at a higher current rating. series parallel can give you both..
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 supplies energy in an electric current?
Electric cells
What are two parts of an electric current?
cells and switch
What kind of cells are used to turn sunlight into electric current?
Photovoltaic cells.
What type of electric current is produced by fuel cells and solar cells?
ac
Why do solar cells need to lower resistance in the electrical circuits that make up their electronic system?
Reducing the resistance of solar cells increases the output current. Although the voltage remains the same the current is effected due to internal resistance. A reduction in output current can result in lesser diminished functioning in household appliances.
Are photovoltaic cells semiconductors?
Yes, that is how they convert sunlight to electric current
Why do materials like living cells heat up when electric current passes through them?
Living cells, containing water conduct electricity. However other compounds in the cell resist electricity causing thermal build-up, much like the filament in a light bulb.
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
Why do electric cells have 2 terminals?
to form an electric circuit two terminals are required it is being closed and electric current passes through it .
When two or more electric cells are connected together as a source of current?
parallel
What are disadvantage of disco light?
An organism uses electric current in its nervous system . This electric current , produced by the brain are transported to certain nerve cells found all throughout the body .
What arrangement of three cells would result in the greatest electric current?
I haven't studied this for awhile, but... I assume by cell, you mean a voltage supply, like a battery. It depends on what else is in the circuit. If your circuit has a typical amount of resistance, then connecting the cells in series (as opposed to in parallel) will result in the largest voltage. Higher voltage means greater current across a resistor. However, if the resistance of the circuit is very low (like in a short circuit), then your batteries' own internal resistance may be the most significant factor, and batteries arranged in parallel may be able to sustain a higher current.
