Three 2 V cells are connected in series and used as a battery in a circuit.

(a) What is the p.d. at the terminals of the battery?

(b) How many joules of electrical energy does 1 C gain on passing through (i) one cell (ii) all three cells?

(a) If three cells of 2 volt each are connected in series to make a battery, then the total potential difference between terminals of the battery will be 6V.

(b) (i) Given: p.d. = 2V, Charge moved = 1C

We know that

Work done = p.d. x charge moved

= 2 x 1

Work done = 2 joules

(ii) Given: p.d. = 6V, Charge moved = 1C

Work done = p.d. x charge moved

= 6 x1

Work done = 6 joule.
