Hi guys,
I have a d-cell sitting in my room and on its wrapper it only lists a voltage of 1.5v, and no current. So, I thought to myself: what is the current on a battery when I short it out? If I dont have an applied resistance via a resistor, and I am only considering the minute resistance of the copper wire, isn't ohms law saying that this battery's current through the wire 1.5v = 1.5amps?
I am still waiting for my multimeter to come in the mail, so I wont know for sure, but theoretically, this is right: 1.5v = 1.5amps?
P.S. I love this site, its information and this forum. Its a big help.
