You haven't mentioned the voltage or the Amp-hour capacity of the battery.
In order to estimate the life of the battery, we need to know both of those,
and we also need to be assured that the battery voltage is the same as the
designed operating voltage of the appliance.
The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.
a battery and a resistor connected together.
You would short out the battery. If it was a car battery capable of 300 amps and the wire was big enough, the battery could explode.
The voltmeter would read 12 volts. An ammeter connected to to battery would only read 4 amps (12 volts divided by 3 ohms =4)
I am not completely sure on why you battery in your Mustang would be smoking only when connected to the starter. I would take into a shop and have them look at it.
Related to a battery and open load is the battery just sitting there without anything connected. A short is a very low resistance attached to the tow terminals of the battery. For example, a wire connected across the battery terminals would constitute a short.
They can visit an electrical appliance store and purchase one from there. Alternatively, you can order on a browser and look at with Sony battery charger you would like to buy.
That would be a battery.
Overcharging by the alternator or if it is connected in reverse polarity.
Torch equals flashlight. Battery negative connected to case switched to bulbs outside. Positive connected to the lamps bottom. Called a series circuit.
depends on the voltage of the battery being used. USB voltage is 5 volts DC. If you use a car battery, which is generally 12 volts, I would think your device would not like this. But to answer your question. Yes, it will charge. But not properly if you do not use the correct voltage.
This would be an Electromagnet...... If the battery is disconnected, then the iron bar will become a permanent magnet.
