Question

number of cells connected in series provide a
a High current carrying capacity
b Higher Voltage
c Higher Power
d none of the above
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of cells in series connection provides  c) Higher voltage

Explanation:

This is based on the concept of Kirchoff's law.

Kirchhoff's First Law or Junction Rule states that the algebraic sum of electric currents at any junction of an electric circuit is equal to zero.

Kirchhoff's second law or loop law states that the sum of all voltages around a closed loop in any circuit must be equal to zero.

Each cell has two terminals, anode (current flows in) and cathode (current flows out).  In series combination, the negative terminal of a cell is connected to the positive terminal of the other cell and vice-versa.

According to Kirchoff's second law, when the cells are connected in a series combination, the voltage across the cells will be increased.

Since, the voltage gets summed up due to which the rating of voltage is increased.
