Does Battery Internal Resistance Vary with External Resistance?

AI Thread Summary
The internal resistance of a battery is generally considered constant during normal discharge cycles and does not depend on external resistance. However, it can increase with battery aging, affecting performance after numerous charge cycles. Temperature also influences internal resistance, which tends to rise in colder conditions, complicating battery operation. While the internal resistance remains relatively stable under typical conditions, it can vary with battery chemistry and design. Understanding these factors is crucial for evaluating battery performance in different scenarios.

Is the internal resistance of the battery or other source is variable or not?
without discharging .
Is it depend upon on the external resistance?

No, the internal resistance of a battery is not variable.. and it also does not depend on the external resistance.

What's your source of information?
 
Probably depends on battery chemistry, design, temperature, and state of charge.

The internal resistance is normally taken as sensibly constant over one cycle of the normal discharge range of current.

The internal resistance does, however increase with ageing of the battery so the internal resistance after 500 cycles of a rechargeable has often increased enough to render the battery useless.

The internal resistance is independant of other circuit configurations, so long as the currents drawn are within the normal ratings.

The internal resistance increases with decreasing temperature, which is why it is harder to start a vehicle on a cold morning.

Is this a homework question?
 
No this is not home working question.
there is no information about the internal resistance in our course bot this question arise in mind and so i do it here
 
It's good to think around the subject. Hope my initial reply helped.
