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..

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!
Are devices of home connected in series or in parallel?
Home devices are connected in parallel and not in series.
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
Voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistor?
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.
How are bulb connected in the house?
In parallel

When two identical cells are connected either in series or parallel across a 2 ohm resistor they send the same current through it calculate the internal resistance of each cell?
as the given cells have the same current flowing in through them (current flowing through the cells connected in series is equal to the current flowing when connected in parallel ) equate the formula's of cells connected in series and cells connected in parallel.thus by equating we get the value of the internal resistor as 2 ohms.
Are the car battery cells connected in a parallel or in a series?
Sereies, with each cell about 2.2volts
When two or more electric cells are connected together as a source of current?
parallel
How do you calculate total emf in parallel connected cells?
When connecting cells in parallel, it is important that they are all of the same type. The total e.m.f. of cells connected in parallel is equal the the e.m.f. of an individual cell. So, if each cell has an e.m.f. of, say, 1.5 V, then it doesn't matter whether you have one cell or a hundred cells, the e.m.f. of the resulting battery will also be 1.5 V.
Three cells have voltage of 15V 18V and 20 V What is the total voltage of the cells when they are connected in parallel?
Sources with different voltages should never be connected in parallel, you would have a difference of potential. Any time you have a difference of potential connected together you will have sparks, which could cause the batteries to explode.
If 3 1.5 V cells were connected in series what would the total voltage of the circuit be What about in Parallel?
4.5 volts in series; 1.5 volts in parallel.
How is resistivity connected to resistance?
Resistance is connected in parallel with voltmeter or say, voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistance.
Which home appliances are connected in parallel and which in series?
All home appliances are connected in parallel.
Are devices of home connected in series or in parallel?
Home devices are connected in parallel and not in series.
What is the equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit you have connected?
In principle, it is infinite. I have not connected a parallel circuit in ages.
