I've read a few books on electronics including the one on this site and they all do a good job of providing information on voltage, but it seems like the information presented on current is a side thought. As a result I just can't seem to grasp the concept.
If I have a 9V battery and say I put it in series with a .01 ohm resistor (if I had such a thing) ohms law would state I should get 900 amps.
Also what is driving the current? If I wire the 9V battery in a short circuit what will my amperage be and what limits it?
It also seems like if something tries to draw more amperage then the source can supply at a given voltage - the voltage drops.
First off why is the load drawing an amperage?
Why does the voltage drop?
I apologize for this questions, but I'm hoping someone can help and clarify this in a way I can understand.
