Why do electric cells have 2 terminals?
Electric cells have two terminals, a positive (+) and a negative (-), to facilitate the flow of electrons in a circuit. Electrons are released at the negative terminal and flow through the circuit to the positive terminal, creating an electric current. Having two terminals allows for the creation of a potential difference, which is essential for generating electricity.
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.
What are the two things needed to make current flow in electricity?
A flow of electrons is needed to have a current. And there (usually) must be a complete circuit. And you need a voltage to make the current move around your circuit. All tied up in Ohms Law - which I'll leave to you.
Where do chemical reactions occur in electrochemical cells?
Chemical reactions occur at the electrodes of electrochemical cells. At the anode, oxidation occurs as electrons are released into the circuit, and at the cathode, reduction occurs as electrons are accepted from the circuit. This flow of electrons creates an electric current in the cell.
How does a buzzer work in an electric circuit?
A buzzer works in an electric circuit by creating vibrations in a diaphragm when an electric current passes through a coil. The vibrations produce sound waves that we hear as a buzzing noise. By controlling the flow of current through the coil, the buzzer can produce different tones or patterns of sound.
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 when Volta connected the parts of his cells in circuit?
An electric current flowed around the circuit.
What happened when volta connected the parts of his cells in a circuit?
when he connected the parts he got an electric current.
What process by which an electric current is produced?
An electric current is produced through a process called electromotive force (EMF), which can be generated by batteries, generators, or solar cells. When a circuit is closed, the EMF causes the flow of electric charge, resulting in an electric current.
Why do electric cells have 2 terminals?
Electric cells have two terminals, a positive (+) and a negative (-), to facilitate the flow of electrons in a circuit. Electrons are released at the negative terminal and flow through the circuit to the positive terminal, creating an electric current. Having two terminals allows for the creation of a potential difference, which is essential for generating electricity.
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
How does the number of cells affect the current in a circuit?
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. The number of cells in a circuit directly affects the voltage, not the current. Current is determined by the resistance in the circuit and the voltage supplied by the cells. So, more cells mean more voltage, which can potentially increase the current flowing through the circuit.
When two or more electric cells are connected together as a source of current?
When two or more electric cells are connected together as a source of current, they form a battery. The cells work together to provide a higher voltage and longer-lasting power supply. This allows for more sustained and consistent electrical energy to be delivered to a circuit or device.
What are two parts of an electric current?
cells and switch

What kind of cells are used to turn sunlight into electric current?
