Question

Derive an expression for the current obtained for n cells connected in series. Hence derive the condition for maximum current.

Answer 1

When cells are connected in series the amount of current is equally distributed among all the cells. i-e Q=Q1=Q2=Q3=........Qn.

Maximum current can be find out by putting the number of charges of any of the cells connected in series in the equation given below
