Physics- Cells Connected In Parallel Flashcards
1
Q
To connect two or more cells in parallel
A
Positive poles of the cells must be connected together and the negative poles must be connected together
2
Q
Cells can only be connected in parallel
A
If their voltages are the same
3
Q
Voltage of cells connected in parallel
A
Is the same as the voltage of an individual cell
4
Q
1/Rtotal =
A
1/R + 1/R= 2/R
Rtotal= R/2
5
Q
1/Ref =
A
1/R1 + 1/R2= 2/R
Ref= R/2
Ref= 1,… ohms
6
Q
Current is divided by
A
Parallel resistors
Current dividers
