Question

Technician A says that a 12-volt battery has six cells. Technician B says that the more plates a cell in a battery has, the more voltage it creates. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both Technician A and Technician B Neither Technician A nor Technician B

Answer 1

Answer: Only technician A.

Explanation:

A 12 volt battery has 6 cells, where each cell produces around 2 volts.

Now, a battery cell has two sets of plates (or two main plates), one set of negative charged plates and other of positive charged plates, separated by an insulating material. Those plates are related to the amount of energy that can be stored by the battery, not with the voltage it has.

So the only one correct is technician A.

Answer 2

Answer:Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A is right as a 12 v battery contains 6 cells of 2.2 volts and

The size of the battery plates and amount of electrolyte decides the amount of charge lead acid batteries can store for example thus more plates a cell does not mean more voltage it creates.
