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.

MaxineConnecting three cells in parallel would result in the greatest electric current, as this arrangement increases the overall current output. In parallel connection, the voltage remains the same while the current adds up, leading to a higher overall current output compared to series connection.

What is the ability of light to cause electron movement and electric current?
The ability of light to cause electron movement and electric current is known as the photoelectric effect. When photons of light strike a material, they can transfer their energy to electrons, causing them to be ejected from the material, which can then result in the generation of an electric current.

Can 2 cells push electric current harder round a circuit?
No, cells do not push electric current harder around a circuit. Electric current is driven by the voltage difference between the cells. Adding more cells in series increases the voltage, which can result in more current flowing through the circuit, but the cells themselves do not push the current harder.
Why any electric wire get suddenly cool when electric current cutoff?
When an electric current is flowing through a wire, it generates heat due to the resistance in the wire. When the current is suddenly cutoff, there is no longer a source of energy to maintain that heat, so the wire begins to cool down. This cooling effect is a result of the wire losing energy in the form of heat to its surroundings.
What is produced when charges moves along a path?
When charges move along a path, an electric current is produced. This flow of electric charge can result in the generation of a magnetic field around the path of the moving charges. The relationship between electric current and magnetic fields is described by the laws of electromagnetism.
