Question
Three 2 V cells are connected in series and used as a battery in a circuit.
What is the p.d. at the terminals of the battery?

Solution
The potential difference across each cell is 2 V. So, the potential difference at the terminals of the battery is 3 x 2 V = 6 V.

The representation of the electric current is A
For current to flow, one needs art open circuit.
Assertion (A): Electric current will not flow between two charged bodies when connected if their charges are the same.
Reason (R): Current is the rate of flow of charge.
Define the following:
Conventional current
