Yes they do have a resistance. Even though a battery is a voltage source it has some thevenin resistance. Every lead plate and cell of sulfuric acid, will have a small resistance. The thevenin resistance is equivalent or sum of all those resistances.

Why during loading the voltage get decreased at output?

Output voltage (...of a transformer, for example...) will decrease as it is loaded because of the transformer's internal resistance. As output current increases/load resistance decreases, a larger voltage will be dropped across the internal transformer resistance. This same phenomenon is present in AC and DC systems (such as batteries).


What would the current be if an extra battery was added to a circuit?

If you add more batteries in series, the voltage would increase. This would drastically change the circuit. Normally this should also produce more current.The effect of adding more batteries in parallel is insignificant for many circuits. Adding more batteries in parallel is like lowering a battery's internal resistance - which, for many circuits, can be neglected.Example: The battery's internal resistance can be neglected; the battery gives a voltage of 12 volt, you connect it to a resistance of 2 ohm. According to Ohm's law, that will give you a current of 6 ampere. Note that the battery capacity does not enter the calculation! Adding a second battery (of the same kind) will produce the same voltage, thus, the same current.If you add more batteries in series, the voltage would increase.

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.


Two 12 volt batteries in series one has 4 amp's another has 4 amp's they are connected across a 2 ohm load the current flowing in the circuit is?

Volts = Current x Resistance. You have 24 Volts divided by 2 ohms and the draw will be 12 amps. Your batteries will fail quickly if not spectacularly.

Do Dead batteries have high internal resistance?

yes, batteries have high internal resistance. The higher the resistance the lower power you get out of the batter. Therefore if you no power you have very high resistance.


Why series arrangement of batteries brighter than parallel arrangement of batteries?

Connecting batteries in series increases available voltage. Connecting them in parallel increases available current. Ohm's law states that when resistance is constant (and a light bulb is a constant resistance, to a point), the current flowing through will be directly proportional to the voltage. And when the voltage doesn't change, the only way to change the flowing current is to lower the resistance - as in, put in a smaller light bulb.

How do cobalt and nickel are used in manufactured products?

Cobalt is used in rechargeable batteries, superalloys, and pigments due to its strength and heat resistance properties. Nickel is commonly used in stainless steel production, as well as in rechargeable batteries, magnets, and coins due to its corrosion resistance and magnetic properties.


How many amperes does a 6 volt DC battery put out?

That will depend on the sum of the load resistance and the internal resistance of the battery (this is true for all power sources, not just 6 volt batteries). Small compact batteries tend to have higher internal resistance and therefore are more limited in the current they can deliver to a given load than larger batteries.


What happens if you connect two batteries of the same voltage positive pole to positive and negative to negative?

If the batteries have EXACTLY the same voltage, then nothing will happen, because there will be no voltage drop in the circuit, and hence no current. If the batteries have SLIGHTLY different voltages, then there will be a voltage drop in the circuit. Since there is low resistance, there might be high current, causing damage and/or an explosion. In all probability, however, there is enough internal resistance in the batteries to simply cause them to equalize in voltage.
