Question 140Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) series. Wet cell storage batteries connected in a series configuration means that the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next battery, and so on, forming a continuous chain. This configuration allows the voltage of the batteries to add up, while the current remains the same through each battery. The other options are incorrect because: B) parallel configuration connects the positive terminals and negative terminals together, maintaining the same voltage but increasing the current capacity; C) tandem configuration refers to connecting batteries end-to-end in a linear fashion, which is not the case here; and D) compound configuration is a combination of series and parallel, which is not the configuration shown in the illustration.
