Cells are connected in series in order to_____________?
Correct answer: A. increase the voltage rating
- A. increase the voltage rating
- B. increase the current rating
- C. increase the life of the cells
- D. none of the above
Explanation
In a series connection, the same current flows through every cell and the cell voltages add together. Series connection therefore increases the voltage rating, whereas parallel connection increases current capacity.
