AI Thread Summary
To effectively deal with batteries in circuits, understanding the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is crucial, as expressed in the formula V = IR. The internal resistance of a battery limits the maximum current that can be drawn from it. For AA batteries, examining their amp-hour discharge rates and current output curves can provide valuable insights into their performance. Resources like PowerStream offer detailed tests and data on AA battery capabilities. Proper analysis of these factors ensures optimal usage of batteries in various applications.

hi tefavolc! :smile:

V = IR, I = V/R.

A battery has an internal resistance, Rint, so the current can't be greater than … ? :wink:
 


Look at the measured AA battery amp-hour discharge rates and curves for various output currents in this:

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
