6 sample questions

Question 1.
What is the total voltage when two 1.5V cells are connected in series?
Show hintHide hint
Add the voltages of the individual cells.
Question 2.
In a parallel connection of three 1.5V batteries, what is the total voltage?
Show hintHide hint
The voltage stays the same in parallel.
3Question 3.
What happens to total voltage in a series connection?
- It decreases
- It increases
- It remains the same
Show hintHide hint
Think about adding voltages.
4Question 4.
In a parallel connection, does the total voltage change?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember what stays constant in parallel.
Question 5.
If you connect four 1.5V batteries in series and then connect another group of two sets of three batteries in parallel, what is the total voltage?
Show hintHide hint
Calculate series first then think about how parallel works.
Question 6.
You have three cells in parallel, each providing 2A of current. If you add another two cells in series that provide 3V, calculate the total output current and potential voltage.
Show hintHide hint
Combine the current from parallel cells and see how series affects voltage.
