Answer: A larger current capacity.
- A A larger current capacity
- B A much larger emf
- C A reversed polarity
- D A zero internal resistance
Correct answer: A. A larger current capacity
Explanation: Parallel identical cells have the same emf as one cell but a lower effective internal resistance, allowing a larger current to be supplied to an external circuit.
In series, the same current flows through both resistors; in parallel, the current splits between branches and the voltage across each resistor is the same.
