You put them in series to get more voltage, and in parallel to get more current (amperage).

What happens to the current if the number of bulbs stays the same but you use more cells?

If you add more cells in series with the bulbs, the current will increase as the voltage across the bulbs increases. If you add more cells in parallel with the bulbs, the current will stay the same because the voltage of the cells does not increase when they are added in parallel.


Which is a source of ac current a) a battery b) a generator c) chemical cells wired in series d) chemical cells wired in parallel?

b) a generator. Generators create alternating current (AC) by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.


How does the EMF of a battery which is made up of cells in series compare with the EMF of the individual cell?

The EMF of a battery made up of cells in series is equal to the sum of the EMFs of the individual cells. When cells are connected in series, their voltages add up. For example, if you have two 1.5V cells in series, the total EMF of the battery would be 3V.


What is the scientific defnition for battery?

A battery is a device that produces electricity through electrochemical reactions that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. It typically consists of one or more electrochemical cells connected in series or parallel to provide the desired voltage and current capacity.


When do you think chloroplasst will be aligned with their flat surface parallel to the walls when the will be perpendicular to the incident light?

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis. They align their flat surfaces parallel to the incident light to maximize light absorption for photosynthesis. This alignment happens quickly after detecting the direction of light, allowing plant cells to efficiently capture light energy for their metabolic processes.

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!


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.


Are the car battery cells connected in a parallel or in a series?

Sereies, with each cell about 2.2volts


What advantage is there in arranging the batteries in series and in parallel?

A series connection of [five] cells gives you [five] times the voltage of a single cell.A parallel connection of [five] cells gives you the same voltage, but [five] times thebattery life, of a single cell.


Are car battery cells connected in series or in parallel?

Battery cells are conneted in series. Each cell of a 12v battery averages 2.1v when charged. SERIES 2-4-6-8 and so on


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.


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.


How can two 4v lamps be lit up by two 2v cells?

-- Connect the cells in series. The two terminals of their series combination present a potential difference of 4 volts. -- Connect both lamps in parallel between the terminals of the series-connected cells.


What is a device that used to convert chemical energy into electrical energy a group of voltaic cells connected together on a series or parallel connection?

A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. A group of voltaic cells connected together in series or parallel form a battery.


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..


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.
