Why voltage measured at terminals of battery to which load is connected is always lower than open circuit voltage?

Real-world batteries do not have zero internal resistance. When one connects a load (resistance) to a battery, current begins to flow and the open-circuit potential is divided between the battery's internal resistance and the resistance of the load. Thus, one will measure a lower voltage at the battery terminals when a load is connected, compared to no-load conditions.


Is every resistance load resistance?

No. Load resistance is the value of the element actually doing the work of the circuit it is connected to. A speaker connected to an amplifier is the load.


What would the current flow be if a short circuit is put across the battery's terminals?

That will depend on the internal resistance of the battery. I = E / R Where I is the current, E is the open circuit battery voltage, and R is the internal resistance of the battery.


What is the resistance in a circuit if two 60ohm's resistors are connected in series?

The equivalent resistance of multiple resistors connected in series is the sum of theindividual resistances.(10 + 60 + 50) = 120 ohms for this particular trio of resistors in series.It makes no difference what battery they may be connected to, or if they're connected toany power supply at all.


How is the total resistance in a series circuit is determined?

The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.

When a 12 volt battery is connected across an unkown resistance there is a current of 2.5m amphere in the circuit find the value of resistance of the resistor?

What is meant by calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit from the measured potential difference across the battery and the current through the battery is there a formula for this?

In a complex circuit with various elements (resistors, capacitors etc.) and one battery, the various circut elements contribute to draw a certain amount of current "I"from the battery at some terminal voltage "V". The "equivalent" resistance of the various circuit elements is that resistance "R" which will draw the same current , at the same terminal voltage, as the complex circuit. So to find "R" you simply imagine replacing the complex circuit with "R" by attaching "R" across the terminals of the battery and use Ohms law to find "R" , demanding "I" and "V" are the same. So then R = V/I.


What is the current in a 1.5V Alkaline battery?

The current depends on what is connected to the battery's terminals. If nothing is connected to it, then there is no current, and the battery lasts quite a while. In general, the current is 1.5/resistance of the external circuit connected to the battery until that number gets too big, and then the voltage of the battery sags, because it can't deliver that much current.


If a parallel circuit shorts at the battery will the entire circuit short out too?

If at battery,parallel circuit shorts then equivalent resistance of circuit becomes approximately 0 Ohms,and therefore as current follows low resistance path infinite amount of current due to low resistance will flow through the wire so,entire parallel circuit will short out,but wire will burn and battery may get damaged.
