I think internal resistances must be given for parallel combination of cells..saurabh tiwari said:
And what is the conclusion that you "know is right" ?saurabh tiwari said:
Ah, yes. You are right, but ideal components are the staple of introductory electronics. and it is more correct to say that you simply cannot PUT ideal voltages sources with different voltages in parallel because you would thereby violate the definition of one or the other or both.saurabh tiwari said:
cwaters said ideal CURRENT sources cannot be put in series. Again, it would violate the definition of one or the other or both (unless they had identical values, in which case it's just silly)saurabh tiwari said:
The purpose of connecting cells in parallel is to increase the overall current capacity of the circuit, as each cell will contribute its own current to the overall output.
Connecting cells in parallel does not affect the voltage. The voltage across each cell will remain the same, but the overall current capacity will increase.
If one cell in the parallel combination fails, the other cells will continue to provide current to the circuit. However, the overall current capacity will be reduced.
The total current in a parallel combination of cells is equal to the sum of the individual currents of each cell. For example, if three cells with currents of 2A, 3A, and 4A are connected in parallel, the total current will be 9A.
One potential disadvantage of using cells in parallel combination is the increased complexity of the circuit and the need for additional wiring. Additionally, if the cells are not perfectly matched, one cell may discharge faster than the others, leading to an imbalance in the circuit.
