    Battery with internal resistance: terminal voltage and current vs load

    [SIZE="3"]Thanks for your help everyone! I thought 'Resistance' was the resistance to flow of electrons through a conductor whether it is AC or DC. Impedance being the sum of (the circuits 'Resistance' through the circuit conducting materials & components) and (the resistance of electron...

    Battery with internal resistance: terminal voltage and current vs load

    That is reassuring! Looking at the graph without sensibile consideration the obvious answer is that the load must equal the terminal voltage to maximize power transmission. (Which I know is wrong) For Pmax: RLoad = VT The other obvious answer is that the Internal resistance of the...

    Battery with internal resistance: terminal voltage and current vs load

    Thanks for that everyone. A 12V battery has an internal resistance of 6Ω. a) If this battery is connected to a 10Ω load, calculate the power dissipated by the load. b) Draw a graph showing how the terminal voltage of the battery and the current it can supply vary with load. c) Derive...
