SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the voltage drop and terminal voltage in a circuit involving a consumer with a resistance of 2 ohms, an internal resistance of 0.3 ohms, and a power source voltage of 130 V. The total resistance in the circuit is calculated using Ohm's Law, specifically the equation I=V/Rtotal, where Rtotal is the sum of the consumer's resistance and the internal resistance. The resistance of connecting threads, each 0.15 ohms, also contributes to the total resistance, impacting the voltage drop and terminal voltage calculations.
