Question

When \(n\) identical cells are connected in parallel, they give

• A. less current
• B. more current
• C. less voltage
• D. more voltage
• E. variable voltage and variable current

Hint:

Use parallel connections to increase current output in circuits where higher current is required without increasing voltage.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: When cells are connected in parallel, the voltage across each cell remains the same, but the total current capacity increases. 
Step 2: The effective internal resistance decreases, allowing more current to flow through the external circuit compared to a single cell. 
Step 3: Therefore, connecting cells in parallel results in more current.
