Measuring the Electromotive Force and Internal Resistance of a Battery?

A typical car battery has a voltage around 12V and a very small (less than 0.1 Ohm) internal resistance. If you would connect the ammeter in parallel to the battery it will hopefully trip the internal fuse or just blow up. There are very few specialized ammeters than can measure currents above 100A. So you have to approach this problem differently.

5 Electrical energy

Batteries As you can see in Figure 5.1.6, batteries come in different sizes and shapes and different batteries provide different voltages. The voltage of batteries can be further increased by placing a number of them end to end. For example, eight 1.5 V AA batteries arranged head to tail give the same 12 V as supplied by a car battery. 1.5 V 1.5 V

The same galvanometer can also function as an ammeter when it is placed in parallel with a small resistance R, often called the shunt resistance. Since the shunt resistance is small, most of the current passes through it, allowing an ammeter to measure currents much greater than those that would produce a full-scale deflection of the galvanometer. Suppose, for example, we need …
