Why does voltmeter have high internal resistance?

No, ammeters have a low internal resistance. This is so that when they are put in series with a circuit, they change the circuit's operating characteristics as little as possible.Contrast this with voltmeters, which do have a high internal resistance, and which are intended to be placed in parallel with the circuit they are measuring.Use the link below to the related question on why ammeters have a low internal resistance and read through that information to see why things are the way they are.


Automobile batteries use low or high internal resistance?

I think you are asking why is it necessary for an automobile battery to have low internal resistance. That is because the internal resistance of a battery limits the amount of current it will produce. Imagine connecting a wire from the plus side of the batter to the minus side. Then, the amount of current the battery produces is the voltage of the battery divided by its internal resistance. So, if you take a flashlight battery and connect a wire between the two terminals, it might get a little warm. If you take a car battery cannot a wire between the two terminals, the wire will probably melt! (Don't try this!) If you take a lithium ion battery from your computer and short the two terminals, the battery will catch on fire. (Computer companies build extra resistance into the batteries to help to prevent that. So, why do cars need low internal resistance batteries? They need lots of current to start those large gasoline engines turning. You car battery does a tremendous amount of work to start your engine (and remember, energy and work are the same in physics).


Where would you want to have a high resistance?

I would want to have high resistance in environments that require durability and longevity, such as in electrical components to prevent overheating and failures. High resistance is also desirable in materials used for insulation, ensuring safety and efficiency in various applications. Additionally, in physical fitness, high resistance training can enhance muscle strength and endurance, contributing to overall health.


Why should you be the internal resistance of the very few Amitr?

ammeter connect in series in circuit to measure the current, if the Ammeter have a high resistance it would effect the voltage value because there will be a drop voltage over the internal resistance of the Ammeter, so we desgin the ammeters with very low resistance...


Battery connected to high Resistance voltmeter the reading is 1.5V when it is shorted on a low resistance ammeter the current is 2.5A what is the emf and the internal resistance of the battery?

The Thevenin equivalent circuit of this battery is 1.5V and 0.6 ohms in series. A more exact answer cannot be given without knowing the actual resistance of the 2 meters (I assumed infinite for the voltmeter and zero for the ammeter, as would be for ideal meters).However I would NEVER attempt this test as you describe it, many types of batteries will explode like bombs when shorted (as they would be when an ammeter was placed across them)! The correct way to do this test safely is with just a voltmeter and an adjustable high wattage resistor.

Do meters usually have a high or low internal resistance?

It depends on the application. Voltmeters have a high internal resistance, while ammeters have a low internal resistance.


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.

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.


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.


When a battery is connected across a high resistance in parallel with a low resistance more power is dissapited in the low resistance Is this statement true or false?

true

What might be the problem if a 1997 Isuzu Trooper's low beams are out but the high beams still work?

AnswerHi, there. This is exactly what happened to my '99 Trooper. Believe it or not, both the low beam filaments went out at the same time. I replaced on bulb and, bingo, low beams worked. Then, I replaced the other bulb and got the same result. Good luck. Hope this works for you.-------- Hello, this is Lee adding a bit more to the answer.Burned out bulbs suggest "high vehicle voltage levels".. High voltage levels are caused by a battery developing high internal resistance or a high resistance in the battery ground cable.Automobiles typically use an alternator that charges the battery at a constant current. If the battery or the wire connecting the battery's negative terminal to the engine block develops a high resistance, then the voltage of the entire vehicle climbs a half a volt or maybe even a whole volt above normal. It turns out high intensity headlight bulbs quickly start blowing out when they are fed a little too much voltage.So here is a checklist.Check the voltage drop for the battery to engine block ground connection. Check the battery connections. Remake as indicated.Does the battery need water? Not a very common problem these days, but small battery vehicles like motorcycles will develop a cell with low water.Is the vehicle battery at it's age limit? Aging car batteries sometimes develop higher internal resistance.


When Replacing 12v coil on 1998 Kubota engine wg750 could it have resistance type external wiring from coil to distributor or is resistance internal in coil?

A engine coil has a high internal resistance, the needing of a suplementar resistance may be advised to you by a car electrician, who works with such brand and model of your car.
