When cells are connected in parallel, what will be the effect on (i) current capacity (ii)e.m.f. of the cells

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Current capacity from the combination of cells is the total current available from the cell. Current capacity increase for the parallel combination of cells.
(ii) The effective e.m.f. of the cells of equal e.m.f. in parallel will be equal to e.m.f. of one cell.

An equiring physics student connects a cell to a circuit and measures the current drawn from the cell to I_1 . When he joins a second identical cell is series with the first, the current becomes I_2 . When the cells are connected in parallel, the current through the circuit is I_2 . When the cells are connected are in parallel, the current through the circuit is I_3 . Show that relation between the current is 3I_3 I_2 =2I_1(I_2 + I_3).
