Which quantity among the following increases when cells are connected in parallel? Correct Answer Amp Hours

Parallel Connection:

In order to increase the ampere-hour rating of a battery, cells are connected in parallel.

This is explained with the help of the following diagram:

  • The positive terminals of all batteries are connected together, or to a common conductor, and all negative terminals are connected in the same manner.
  • The final voltage remains unchanged while the capacity of the assembly is the sum of the capacities of the individual batteries of this connection.
