When there are three cells in a circuit how would the ammeter change?

In a circuit with three cells, the ammeter reading will depend on how the cells are connected. If they are connected in series, the total voltage increases, which can lead to a higher current, assuming resistance remains constant. If they are connected in parallel, the voltage remains the same as a single cell, but the total current could increase due to the combined capacity of the cells. Therefore, the ammeter's reading will vary based on the configuration of the cells.


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!


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


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


What can you increase by adding more cells in a circuit?

amps

What happened when volta connected the parts of his cells in a circuit?

when he connected the parts he got an electric current.


Why did Volta get an electric current when he connected the cells in a circuit?

Volta got an electric current when he connected the cells in a circuit because the cells produced a potential difference, or voltage, which created an electric field that allowed a flow of electrons to move through the circuit. This flow of electrons is what we call an electric current.


What happened to the voltage in the circuit as more dry cells were connected in the series?

What stores and releases energy?

Batteries store energy in chemical form and release it as electrical energy when connected to a circuit. Capacitors store energy in an electric field and release it quickly when connected to a circuit.


When you connect cells in series which two quantities are the same for all cells?

What is a Voltaic pile?

A voltaic pile is a set of individual Galvanic cells placed in series. The voltaic pile, invented by Alessandro Volta in 1800, was the first electric battery. Building on Galvani's 1780s discovery of how a circuit of two metals and a frog's leg can cause the frog's leg to respond, in 1791 Volta demonstrated that when two metals and brine-soaked cloth or cardboard are arranged in a circuit they produce an electric current. In 1800 Volta literally piled up several pairs of alternating copper (or silver) and zinc discs (electrodes) separated by cloth or cardboard soaked in brine (electrolyte) to increase the electrolyte conductivity. When the top and bottom contacts were connected by a wire, an electric current flowed through the voltaic pile and the connecting wire.
