Question
In which circuit did you observe a higher registered electric current?*1 pointThe amount of electric current in the two circuits is zero.Circuit with two dry cellsCircuit with one dry cellThe amount of electric current in the two circuits are the same.
Solution
The circuit with two dry cells would register a higher electric current. This is because the total voltage in a circuit is the sum of the individual cell voltages. Therefore, a circuit with two cells (assuming they are connected in series and are of the same type) would have twice the voltage of a circuit with one cell. According to Ohm's law (Current = Voltage/Resistance), if the resistance is constant, the current is directly proportional to the voltage. Hence, the circuit with two cells would have a higher current.

A student performed experiments taking similar bulbs and cells, but two different solutions I and II as shown in the figure.She found that the bulb in the setup P glows more brightly as compared to that of the setup Q. You would conclude that:Options:Higher current is flowing through the circuit in setup P as compared to setup Q.Higher current is flowing through the circuit in setup Q as compared to setup P.Equal current is flowing through both the circuits.The current flowing through the circuits in the two setups cannot be compared in this manner.
