Question

I NEED HELP WITH THE LAST QUESTION PLS HELP!! (The one below 8)

Answer 1

Answer:

I. 6 cells .

II. Series connection.

Explanation:

I. Determination of the number of cells needed.

From the question given above,

Total voltage (V) = 9 V

1.5 V = 1 cell

Number of cells needed =?

The number of cells needed to make the 9V battery can be obtained as follow:

1.5 V = 1 cell

Therefore,

9 V = 9 V × 1 cell / 1.5 V

9 V = 6 cells

Thus, 6 cells of 1.5 V each is needed

II. Determination of the connection line

Total voltage (Vₜ) = 9 V

Cell 1 (V₁) = 1.5 V

Cell 2 (V₂) = 1.5 V

Cell 3 (V₃) = 1.5 V

Cell 4 (V₄) = 1.5 V

Cell 5 (V₅) = 1.5 V

Cell 6(V₆ ) = 1.5 V

For parrall connection:

Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃ = V₄ = V₅ = V₆

9 V = 1.5 V =... = 1.5 V

For series connection:

Vₜ = V₁ + V₂ + V₃ + V₄ + V₅ + V₆

9 = 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5

9 V = 9 V

From the illustration above, we can see that series connection of each cells will give a total volt of 9 V unlike the parallel connection which resulted to 1.5 V.

Therfore, the cells should be arranged in series connection
