ANo charge at all
BMore total charge
CLess total charge
DThe same total charge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. More total charge
1. Voltage is set by the chemistry of the redox couple, not by the size of the cell.
2. All sizes of dry cells comprise the same components, and so they exhibit the same voltage.
3. Larger cells contain greater amounts of the redox reactants.
4. They are therefore capable of transferring correspondingly greater amounts of charge.
