Question

1.) Draw a set of 1.5-volt cells in a series circuit so that the total battery voltage is 9 volts. A.) how many cell does it take? B.) show polarity connection. C.) suppose you connected one of the cells in part (a) so that it was backwards. what would the voltage across the battery be? Why?

Answer 1

A. Cells=9Volts / 1.5Volts/cell=6Cels.

B.

C. If one of the cells are connected backwards, it will subtract 1.5 volts from the remaining 5 batteries:

V = (5*1.5) - 1.5 = 7.5 - 1.5 = 6 Volts.

Answer 2

Draw a set of 1.5-volt cells in a series circuit so that the total battery voltage is 9 volts. A.) how many cell does it take? B.) show polarity connection. C.) suppose you connected one of the cells in part (a) so that it was backwards. what would the voltage across the battery be? Why?

Answer 3

A) 6cells
B)
C) The voltage across will be 0, since one connected backwards, there will be no current moving across.
