Question

A battery consist of two cells each of potential difference 1.2v. if the cells are connected in parallel and the the total current flowing through the circuit is 4.0A. draw a circuit diagram to show the arrangement

Answer 1

"Look at image"

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallel circuit is one where the current can branch from a single path into multiple paths, or vice versa. In the schematic diagram I have drawn, the current originates from two cells on two different paths that eventually merge into one.

If this schematic diagram was a realistic model:

• The positive terminal of one cell is connected to the positive terminal of the other cell with a wire.
• The negative terminal of one cell is connected to the negative terminal of the other cell with a wire.
• An additional wire is inserted from the positive terminal of one cell to the negative terminal of the other cell.
