What will happened if cells were connected in parallel connection but in opposite polarities?

You would get a high circulating current through both cells, possibly enough to do significant damage to both the cells and to you, depending on the capacity of the cells. Technically, they would actually be connected in series, not parallel!

What is the opposite of a parallel circuit?
It is not the "opposite" but the major alternative to parallel, which is a series circuit. In parallel circuits, each component has its own circuit path (input to output), while in series the components are connected to one another in a line.
What would happen if two secondary winding were connected in parallel with the wrong polarity?
Quite simply, they supply electricity in addition to each other and each lead will be connected to the opposite polarity lead of the other winding... you have a short circuit. The transformer will rapidly get hot and if it has no thermal fuse, might start a fire or cause other damage.
What would happen if the positive dc voltage is replaced with a negative dc source?
If you mean what would happen if you connected a DC device backwards, there could be one or two things happen depending on that the device is. If it was a DC motor it would operate in the opposite direction. If it was an electronic device it could burn out some components. Or with today's electronics nothing would happen. Up until a few years ago polarity to electronic devices was crucial that it be connected correctly. In today's electronics a bypass diode is inserted into the voltage supply line that will block the current flow if the connection is reversed. This one little addition to the circuit supply has saved the frying of many electronic components.
What is Cast in situ concrete?
Cast in place. Concrete is poured where at its permanent location. For example, a manhole cast in-situ will be formed and poured at the pipe connection. This is the opposite of pre-cast, meaning it is cast off-site and transported to its permanent location.
Why is the direction of diodes in alternator diode trio is opposite to the direction of diodes in the rectifier bridge?
A three phase alternator will have six diodes in the rectifier bridge, three with their anodes connected to the phases, and cathodes commoned to the positive terminal, and three with the cathodes connected to the phases, and anodes commoned to the negative terminal, which is likely the housing of the alternator. The trio diodes arrangement will match the positive rectifiers, i.e. anodes to the phase connections, cathodes (denoted usually by a stripe around the body on small diodes), connected to the D+ terminal
Can you make a magnet float with another magnet of the opposite polarity?
No, opposite polarities attract, alike polarities repel.
How are the north and south pole differeant?
One is north and one is south. Also they have opposite magnetic polarities.
What happens when batteries of the same voltage and polarity are connected in parallel?
If you connect both poles of the same battery together, it will make a short circuit, because the electricity isn't going anywhere, just in one side and back to the other, it will cause whatever you used to connect them VERY hot. Electricity is a type of energy, and MOST energy (i say most because I am not 100% positive they have found an exception in this world) will have some connection to heat. But if you plan on doing it, get a lantern battery, one of the REALLY big batteries, and lay a paperclip on the top of it, or some other conductor on both poles of the battery, and back up. And if you are gonna remove it, wear an oven mitt :D
What does q1 plus q2 equals 0 signifies in electostatics?
It signifies that the two charges have equal magnitudes and opposite polarities.
Why is alternating voltage induced in the rotating armature of a generator?
The windings of the armature are constantly cutting magnetic lines of force of opposite polarities
How can a compass be used to detect Earth's magnetic field?
A compass needle is actually a weak magnet. Because in magnetism opposite polarities attract while like polarities repel, the needle's north pole seeks the earth's south pole and vice versa.
What is the opposite of a wireless connection?
wired
What is the opposite of apart?
The opposite could be together, joined, connected, or collected.
How is multiplication and division are connected?
they're connected like plus and minus are although they are the exact opposite they are connected.
What happens to electrons when they go near a negative charges?
They get repelled away from the negative charge(-) because electrons have anegative charge(-).The rule is that same polarities, in this case (-) and (-), repel each other and opposite polarities, (+) and (+), attract each other. (+) and (-) atom bonding is called Ionic bonding because the atoms have to be ions, either cations(+), or anions; to electromagneticallybond.
What is the opposite of lonely?
The opposite is together, in a group, or en masse.
What determines whether charges attract or repel?
If charges are alike, they repel. If charges are opposite, they attract.
