I haven't studied this for awhile, but... I assume by cell, you mean a voltage supply, like a battery. It depends on what else is in the circuit. If your circuit has a typical amount of resistance, then connecting the cells in series (as opposed to in parallel) will result in the largest voltage. Higher voltage means greater current across a resistor. However, if the resistance of the circuit is very low (like in a short circuit), then your batteries' own internal resistance may be the most significant factor, and batteries arranged in parallel may be able to sustain a higher current.

Why does a light bulb filament get hot when electric current flows through it?

That is the result of resistance in the wire. In energy terms, some of the energy in the electric current is converted into heat.


What happens before electric current is created?

An electric current is the result of a voltage. Considering the individual charged particles (often these are electrons), they must be subjected to electric forces - for typically an attractive force to one side, and a repulsive force to the other.

Why is there a harmonics when there is no load?

Harmonics is electric current or voltages that are part of the power system as a result of nonlinear electric loads. If there is no load and a harmonic is present it can present because of a rectifier in the system.
