SUMMARY

In an ideal short circuit scenario, where the resistance of the medium is zero, a battery experiences rapid discharge despite not delivering power externally. The discussion confirms that even in this ideal condition, the battery will "get down quickly," meaning it will lose its charge rapidly. This phenomenon occurs because all the power is dissipated internally within the battery, leading to a swift depletion of its energy reserves.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrical circuits and short circuits
  • Basic knowledge of battery chemistry and internal resistance
  • Familiarity with concepts of power and energy in electrical systems
  • Knowledge of voltage, current, and resistance relationships
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of internal resistance in real-world batteries
  • Study the principles of electrical circuit analysis
  • Learn about battery discharge curves and their implications
  • Explore safety measures and consequences of short circuits in electrical systems
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, physics students, and anyone interested in understanding battery behavior in short circuit conditions.

In Ideal Short circuit i.e the resistance of the medium is zero,there is no power delivered by the source(batterey which involve chemical reactions and have no internal resistance i.e ideal).Then is the source Get down or not.If yes then why?

I don't understand this question. Can you repeat it using different words?
 
our teacher says that when there is an ideal short circuit whic connecting the two terminal of the battery then the battey will get down quickly.
Is this is correct when in ideal short circiut battery is not supplying any energy or power.

With "get down quickly" you mean "lose its charge quickly" ?

This is true. All the power will be lost inside the battery.
