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.

Does a battery represent a system at equilibrium?

No, a battery does not represent a system at equilibrium. A battery operates by creating a potential difference between its terminals through chemical reactions, which is a non-equilibrium process as it involves the flow of electrons from one terminal to the other.


What is the difference between 12V 7AH Battery and 12V 12AH Battery?

Both are giving the data about storage capacity of a battery. For Ex. 12V 7AH Battery will run 7 hours if you are driving the load of 1Amp continuously. But 12 12AH Battery will run 12 hours if you are driving the load of 1Amp continuously.


What is the difference between 12 volt 4 amp and 12 volt 5 amp battery?

The capacities of batteries are rated in amp hours. The higher the amp hour rating of a battery the longer the device connected to the battery will operate. Depending on what the connected load draw in amps is, will determine how long the connected device will operate.


Measure battery current?

To measure battery current, you can use a multimeter set to measure current in series with the battery. Connect the multimeter in series between the battery and the load to measure the current flowing from the battery to the load. Make sure to select the appropriate current range on the multimeter to avoid damaging the instrument.


The potential difference of a battery depends on having an excess number of electrons at the negative terminal and a deficient number of electrons at the positive terminal?

That is true but not very - the excess of electrons at the negative terminal is small. The important thing is that if you place a load (radio set, light bulb etc.) on the battery the electrons flow through the load and this movement is supported by energy supplied by chemical action in the battery.

Difference between voltage and emf?

'Voltage' is simply another term for 'potential difference', and an electromotive force is the open-circuit, or no-load, potential difference of a source such as a battery or generator.


What is terminal PD?

A terminal potential difference is the potential difference appearing across the terminals of a voltage source, such as a battery or a generator, which varies according to the load supplied.When the battery or generator is off load (i.e. no load is connected to it), the terminal potential difference is equal to the electromotive force of that battery or generator.The terminal potential difference tends to decrease as the load current increases, due to a corresponding increase in the internal voltage drop of the battery or generator.

What is the difference between 12v 7ah and a 12v 7ah 20hr?

12v , 7Ah means its the capicity of Battery , if load current is 1 amp then battery runs for 7 hrs. AH = Ampere* Current. 12v, 7ah 20hrs its shows load current is 7/20 amp.


What are the differences between emf and voltage drop?

emf and voltageAnswerElectromotive force is the potential difference created by a source, such as a battery or generator, when it is not connected to a load -in other words, on 'open circuit'.Voltage drop is the potential difference across a load, such as a resistor, which causes current to flow through that load.A voltage drop occurs, internally, in batteries and generators, when they are supplying a load. The battery or generator's terminal voltage, when supplying a load, is its e.m.f. less its internal voltage drop.
