Question

If you short out a resistor in a circuit...does the voltage across the battery change (real battery) or no?

Answer 1

you know, versus whether the resistor wasn't shorted.

Answer 2

if you short across a resistor, the battery will drain faster, due to the increased current through the short

Answer 3

yeah, but the voltage across the battery is unchanged as soon as you short out the resister, right?

Answer 4

v is equivalent in both diagrams right?

Answer 5

I know it increases the current but shouldn't the battery remain constant

Answer 6

there will be a small change in the voltage......

Answer 7

increased or smaller?
