Question

question: whats the total voltage produced by a battery if six dry cells, each developing 1 v, are connected in series? answer options: select one of four 9.5 v 0.5 v 1 v 6 v

Explanation:

Step1: Recall series voltage rule

In series, total voltage \( V_{total} = n \times V_{cell} \), where \( n \) is number of cells, \( V_{cell} \) is voltage per cell.

Step2: Substitute values

\( n = 6 \), \( V_{cell} = 1\,\text{V} \), so \( V_{total} = 6 \times 1 = 6\,\text{V} \).

Answer:

6 V (corresponding to the option with "6 V")
