What is lost volts?
A battery is rated to supply a certain number of volts. However, it actually supplies less, because they are "lost" as the current has to get out of the battery in the first place.(The battery has internal resistance)The amount of lost volts depends on the current being drawn:The less resistance a circuit has, the more current is drawn, because it's easier to flow.Example:If the circuit has little resistance, it draws a large current and the battery's internal resistance causes more lost volts.If the circuit has high resistance, it draws a small current and there are fewer lost volts.This is why when you short-circuit a battery (give it hardly any resistance to go through) it heats up and may explode. A large current is drawn and all the volts are used by the battery's internal resistance.
What is the difference between series and parallel circut?
If two or more circuit elements are connected in series, the current must pass through each of them in turn. If two or more circuit elements are connected in parallel, that means there is a "fork in the road". In this case, part of the current will pass through one element, and part, through another one.
What happens when a battery is hooked up to an open circuit?
nothings because they is no wire connected to the circuit so no current can flow through
When a 12 V battery ie a battery of EMF 12 V is connected across a lamp with a resistance of 6.8 ohms the potential difference across the lamp is 10.2 V Find the current through the lamp?
The idea is to use Ohm's Law (V=IR). In this case, the relevant voltage is the 10.2 V across the lamp.
How much current flows through a toaster with a resistance of 14 ohms when it is connected to a 120 volt outlet?
I = E / R = 120 / 14 = 8.571 Amp. (rounded)
A wire with resistance R is connected to the terminals of a 30 V battery. What is the current through the wire if the wire has the resistance?
Your current will be 30/R Amps. Where R is the resistance in Ohms.
1 A current of 0.88 A flows through a lamp when it is connected in series with a 6 V battery What is the resistance of the lamp?
The formula you are looking for is R = E/I. Resistance is stated in ohms.
What will happen if battery is shorted and grounded?
If a battery is "shorted", meaning that its terminals are connected together through a low resistance, high current flows in the connection and the battery becomes discharged very soon. It makes no difference whether any part of the battery is connected to ground.
When a multimeter is set to measure resistance?
it determines how well the current flows through the wires. ANSWER: When there is no outside power connected to it. But some power is necessary to read the resistance so the meter battery will supply the current necessary to measure the IR drop and translate that to resistance
A 9.0 volt battery connected to bulb. if a current of 0.25 Amps flows through bulb what is the resistance of bulb?
V = IR Voltage = Current * Resistance so 9 = 0.25 * R Hence R =36 Ohms
A resistance of 10 ohms is placed across a 9 volt battery what current flows through the battery?
No current flows through the battery. There is a current through the external circuit. I = E/R = 9/10 = 0.9 amperes.
Why do you have specific resistance combination inside a voltmeter and an ammeter Explain?
in voltmeter we have internal Resistance and connected in series , to current don't transfer in voltmeter , and we have internal resistance in ammeter and connected in parallel , to most current transfer through the ammeter.
If a toy car with a resistance of 2 ohms is connected to a 3v battery how much current flows through the car?
Ohm's Law: V = IR (voltage = current times resistance).Ohm's Law: V = IR (voltage = current times resistance).Ohm's Law: V = IR (voltage = current times resistance).Ohm's Law: V = IR (voltage = current times resistance).
Why shunt resistance is used ammeter?
A shunt resistance is a low resistance connected parallel to the galvanometer so that a large portion of current passes through the low resistance and a small fraction of current passes through the galvanometer this saves the galvanometer from damage
If a 1.5 V battery is connected in a simple curcuit to a light bulb with a resistance of 8 ohms the amount of current flowing through the curcuit is?
V = I * R. 1.5 = 8*IThe current flow is 3/16 Amps.
Three identical resistors each 45 ohms are connected in parallel across a 60-V battery The current through or drawn from the battery is?
If 3 identical 45-ohm resistors are connected in parallel, the net effective resistance of the bunch ...and the load seen by the battery ... is 15 ohms. The current supplied by the battery is60/15 = 4 Amperes.(This assumes that the battery is capable of supplying 4 amps at 60 volts, or 240 watts !)
Why do batteries get warm?
Because they have internal resistance. Current flow through this internal resistance produces heat, just like current flow through ordinary resistors does. The current can be from use of the battery or charging the battery (if it is rechargeable). Usually the internal resistance of a battery increases with age, meaning older batteries tend to run hotter than fresh ones.
