What are the symptoms of a loose battery terminal?

A loose battery terminal will cause intermittent power supply, high resistance and heating. A high resistance will cause a voltage drop, as more current is drawn from it.

The ground cable, on the battery may need to be tightened or cleaned. The alternator voltage regulator may need to be replaced.

Why are your lights dim on your 1990 Nissan nx?

Depending on how dim, it could be your battery, alternator, or poor power supply at the headlight socket. Poor power supply meaning corroded wires causing high voltage drop. Have the battery and alternator tested and go from there.


Why does the battery meter drop when turn on the fan or lights?

all vehicles will drop a certain amount of voltage when accessories are turned on, you need to determine how much voltage is being drawn by using a volt meter, also check charging system and battery condition, if battery is weak or charging system isn't providing enough voltage back to the battery, that can cause your problem and last but not least make sure your battery cables and battery posts are cleanThe battery's charge is low or something is drawing from it.


What would be the voltage drop across two 25 resistors in parallel if the source voltage were equal to 9v?

The voltage would 9V minus any drop in the battery.

How does internal resistance affect operation of a cell or battery?

It causes the battery's voltage to drop when a current is drawn from it.


What is the distance you can have between a 65amp hour battery and its charging unit?

you need to have a small enough voltage drop to still charge the battery with above 12 V input from your alternator. The voltage drop depends on wire size and distance, with bigger wires you will have less voltage drop which is due to the wire resistance.


Why is there a voltage drop across the terminals of a chemical battery that is worn out?

Hi, The voltage may not drop all that much since a battery's output is a specific current at that rated voltage. It possible to place a digital multimeter on a 1.5 volt battery and see 1.5 volts. However, the battery could be as dead as a doornail. Hope this helps, Cubby


What would cause high voltage drop readings?

High resistance on the feeder to the load will cause voltage drop at the load end of the circuit. If this is happening, do the calculations for voltage drop, using the amperage of the load, voltage of the load, the size of the wire feeding the load and the distance from the distribution panel to the load.


What are the differences between emf and voltage drop?

emf and voltageAnswerElectromotive force is the potential difference created by a source, such as a battery or generator, when it is not connected to a load -in other words, on 'open circuit'.Voltage drop is the potential difference across a load, such as a resistor, which causes current to flow through that load.A voltage drop occurs, internally, in batteries and generators, when they are supplying a load. The battery or generator's terminal voltage, when supplying a load, is its e.m.f. less its internal voltage drop.
