Does Battery Capacity depend on Internal Resistance?

AI Thread Summary
Battery capacity is influenced by internal resistance, alongside factors like temperature and chemical structure. Higher internal resistance can lead to reduced capacity and affect the discharge curve of the battery. The relationship between capacity and internal resistance is significant, as increased resistance can limit the current flow and efficiency. For a deeper understanding, resources such as DC Systems Riddle No.1 provide additional insights. Overall, internal resistance plays a crucial role in determining battery performance and capacity.

Just like the title, does battery capacity depend on internal resistance?

I know it does depend on the temperature and the chemical structure of the battery,

but does it also depend on internal resistance?

If so, how dependent are batteries on internal resistance?

Also, what is the relationship between them?
(If there is a formula, please tell me)

Yes, there are relation between battery capacity or discharge curve and its internal resistance. For more information you can refer to DC Systems Riddle No.1 from http://electrical-riddles.com
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
