Question

A battery is a collection of cells
in .........

a)Series
b)Parallel
c)Random Order
d)None Of These
​

Answer 1

Answer : Option ( a ) - Series

$\rule{100}2$

A battery is a collection of cells in a series.

$\rule{100}2$

Explanation :

From the given options, option a represents " series " .

If we look towards the second option, we know that it doesn't matters if they are parallel. The thing which matters is their " series ". Option ( c ) says Random order, It won't help.

Therefore,

Option ( a ) is correct.

b)Parallel

c)Random Order

d)None Of These

$\Huge{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer \colon}}}}$

A battery is a collection of cells in Series

• When two or more electrochemical cells are arranged in a series ,the combination of cells is termed as Battery

• The battery converts chemical energy in the cells into electrical energy

• Since,the current flowing in a series is same everywhere. Current in a battery tends to be same throughout

Correct Option is (a)

Current flow through a battery

Let's put it this way,particles generally move from higher concentrations to lower concentrations.

Generally,flow of current is taken to be from positive terminal to negative terminal of the cell. Since there's a surplus of charge at the anode and deficiency of charge at cathode, current flows from positive terminal to negative terminal creating a potential gradient called Electric Potential in between. This process repeats till both the terminals are at Equilibrium

Cells don't get used up

As there are equal amount of charges at both the terminals, there's no potential difference between them. Thus,flux of charges doesn't take place. This condition is called Equilibrium

Note

• Direction of current is taken opposite to that of electrons. This assumption is critical as it gives us an idea how the flow of current takes place in a cell in complementary to that of electrons.
