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.

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 the voltage of a battery of three cells if one is connected the wrong way round?

The voltage of a battery with three cells connected in series is the sum of the individual cell voltages. If one cell is connected the wrong way round, the total voltage will be reduced by the voltage of that cell.


When two cells with the same voltage are connected in a series circuit what happens to the voltage?

There is addition of voltage. Dry cells have 1.5 volts irrespective of there size. if the cells are added as same polarity in series it will add if are parallel then voltage remains same


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.


What are the significance of connecting dry cells in series-parallel?

Connecting dry cells in series-parallel increases both voltage and capacity. By connecting cells in series, voltage is increased, while connecting cells in parallel increases capacity without changing voltage. This arrangement provides a balance between voltage and capacity for various applications.


When is it usually desirable to connect cells in series?

In electronics circuits current is common in series circuits and voltage is common across parallel circuits. LEDs in series draw less current, but require more voltage. Total power remains the same until multiple drivers are introduced in a parallel configuration.


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!


To construct a battery with a current of 6 amps you would connect six 1 amps cells?

You would connect them in parallel to increase the amerage. If you connect them in series it would increase the voltage. Connected in series-parallel would increase both voltage and amerage.


How can cells be connected together to get a higher voltage?

Cells can be connected in series to increase voltage. When cells are connected in series, the positive terminal of one cell is connected to the negative terminal of the next cell, resulting in the voltages of each cell adding up to create a higher total voltage. This is commonly seen in batteries to increase the output voltage for various applications.


Did the light bulb light up when the dry cells were connected in parallel?

If dry cells are connected in parallel, they will supply more current to the bulb, which will cause it to glow for a longer period of time, but at the same brightness as if only a single cell were used. When the cells are connected in series, the voltage is increased, which will cause the bulb to burn more brightly. If the voltage is increased past the safe point for the bulb, its life will be shortened and it may burn out rapidly. In series, the voltages add. In parallel, you essentially have a larger cell of the same type (cell as in battery of one).


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..


What is the total voltage of a battery containing five 2 V cells connected in series?

Total voltage output of 5 2v cells connected in series would be 10v
