potential difference from batteries

Cards (10)

  • What is the potential difference produced by a single cell mentioned in the video?
    9 volts
  • What is a battery defined as in the video?
    Two or more cells connected together
  • What direction must the cells in a battery be connected?
    In the same direction
  • What happens to the potential difference when two cells are connected in series?
    It adds up to give total potential difference
  • If two cells each have a potential difference of 9 volts, what is the total potential difference when connected in series?
    18 volts
  • How do you calculate the overall potential difference of three cells each with 9 volts?
    Multiply 9 by 3
  • What is the potential difference when one cell is connected in the wrong direction?
    It cancels out, resulting in 0 volts
  • If two cells are pointing in the correct direction and one is in the wrong direction, what is the overall potential difference?
    9 volts
  • What are the key points to remember about batteries and potential difference?
    • A battery consists of two or more cells.
    • Cells must be connected in the same direction.
    • Potential difference adds up in series.
    • Incorrectly oriented cells can cancel potential difference.
  • What is the overall potential difference of a battery with three cells, two in the correct direction and one in the wrong direction?
    9 volts
