The Electric Current and Cells: Cells in a Parallel Circuit

The video tutorial explains the concept of potential difference in parallel circuits. It begins by describing a single cell circuit with a 1.5V battery and a bulb, showing how the voltmeter reads 1.5 volts. It then explores a circuit with three 1.5V cells connected in parallel, demonstrating that the total potential difference remains 1.5 volts. The tutorial highlights the advantage of increased available power when cells are connected in parallel.

What is the potential difference produced by a typical cell?

Explain the configuration of batteries when connected in parallel.

What happens to the total potential difference when three 1.5 Volt cells are connected in parallel?
