Question

Three 1.5 V cells are connected in series in a circuit. What will happen to the current flowing through this circuit if one of the cells is removed?

Answer 1

Answer:

When there are three cells of 1.5V connected in series , then the equivalent voltage across the circuit is 1.5 * 3 = 4.5 Volts .

But , when one is removed , then the total voltage across circuit will be only 3 Volts .

Now , according to ohms law , the current ( I ) directly varies as voltage .

Hence , when one cell is reduced , then voltage is reduced and thus the amount of current is also reduced .

Answer 2

Answer:

The current is reduced

Explanation:

If there are fewer cells, then the overall potential difference will decrease, so the current will decrease
