I am powering my arduino with a 9V battery , and its overheating. Is that something that happens usually or what?
I connected my arduino to my battery with this -> https://www.google.com/search?q=bat...CBAQAw&biw=2048&bih=1010#imgrc=5-Pi7KUr5A5FKM

 

what are you powering through it? The linear regulator drop voltage to maintain the 5V so first you're basically you have a little heater. It should not be used as a power supply. It's fine to power itself and a few little LED's that's about it.

Lets say you're dropping approximately 4V to get to 5V. Then let's say you were powering something that needs 500 mA. That's 2 watts you're generating at the regulator. It's going to get HOT and possibly fail.

the circled chip is the regulator... if that's getting hot you're powering too much through the Arduino and should add a different power supply for the rest of your project.

 

The Arduino regulator can supply a maximum of a total of 200mA. Each pin can supply a maximum of 40mA, but that’s the MAXIMUM. A reasonable design limit is 20mA per pin. If these limits are exceeded (per pin and total), the Arduino will be get hot and likely damaged.

 

I am powering 2 DC motors through it

 

Your link shows hundreds of things. Which one?
Maybe the battery polarity is backwards?

 

I am powering it like this

We can’t access your Google drive. Post whatever you want on this site. The button “Attach files” will let you do that.

My post are absolute limits. They assume that you are powering the Arduino correctly. If it’s heating up, you’re trying to draw power greater than it’s limits. And hence, it doesn’t matter how you’re powering it.

One DC motor probably exceeds the Arduino limits. Nevermind two.

thanks, i didnt know that you can access my drive through it

That would certainly overdo it. Motors need to be externally powered with a relay or transistor switch controlled by the Arduino to start/stop them. Think of Arduino not as a power source but rather a control device. The 200mA total load is not much but sufficient for a control circuit.
