    If V = I x R then does it still "make sense" to refer to a battery's voltage when not connected to anything? As in I = 0..?

    I'm an automotive mechanic that specializes in electrical/drivability diagnosis. I like helping other techs get a better grasp on this aspect of our trade. Now imagine I'm with another tech and I have a battery and a multimeter in front of me. I measure the battery's voltage and get 12V. Me...

    Calculate the voltage V4 and current i6 of the circuit in the figure using only Kirchhoff and law of nodes and meshes

    I tried to solve the equations I got but when I make substitutions I get to a deadlock where I can't substitute anything anymore. The equations I obtained are: i2=i1+i2 i3=i4+i5 i5=i7-i6 i2=i4+i6 3i2-i1R1-i5R2=0 2v-i2R3=0 -i6R4+2v-i5R2=0 Could someone help me understand step by step what...

    Question regarding water resistance changing with voltage

    Hi, recently I have been trying to find out regarding resistance of water at high voltages. I may seem oddly obsessed with this but it is forming a big part of a science project I am doing revolving around electrical safety with water and wet things, using detailed resistance values to back...

    22v DC to 12v DC of Charger

    Okay, I'm a EE who never worked in the industry and finished school in 1988 so please keep the laughter to a minimum lol. All is DC I have a battery charger from a Hoover Vacuum that puts out 22v, 2A. I desire to use it as a 12v charger. Is this as simple as placing a 5 Ohm resister in the...
