Unable to understand how higher current results in lower p.d

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 5458228, member: 334404"] Steven has supplied the answer in terms of equations, but let me offer a more descriptive answer. In order to get more current from the same battery, you would need to reduce the external resistance. But you would find that the current does not increase as quickly as you would expect if it were simply V=IR with a constant V. The explanation is that the measured V is also reducing somewhat (or to put it another way, that there is internal resistance that needs to be taken into account). [/QUOTE]
