Question

To construct a battery with a current of 6 A, you would connect six 1 A cells

Answer 1

A. in parallel.,D. in series.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. in parallel.

Explanation:

In the series circuit, the current is the same for all of the elements in the circuit. This means that current in a resistor is the same as in every other resistor

Mathematically,

I = $I_{1}$ = $I_{2}$ = ... = $I_{n}$

In the parallel circuit, the total current is the sum of the currents through the individual components

Mathematically,

$I_{total}$= $I_{1}$ + $I_{2}$ + ... + $I_{n}$

For the series circuit, connecting six 1 A cells yields

I = $I_{1}$ = $I_{2}$ = $I_{3}$ = $I_{4}$ = $I_{5}$ = $I_{6}$ = 1 A

For the parallel circuit, connecting six 1 A cells yields

$I_{total}$ = $I_{1}$ + $I_{2}$ + $I_{3}$ + $I_{4}$ + $I_{5}$ + $I_{6}$ = (1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 +1) A

$I_{total}$ = 6 A

It therefore follows that the answer is option A. in parallel.
