When a load, such as a motor or a light bulb, is connected to a battery, it draws current. This current flow, combined with the battery''s internal resistance, causes a voltage drop. The greater the internal resistance, the more significant the voltage drop. To illustrate this, consider a simple experiment with a AA cell. When connected to a 4
When an internal short circuit occurs, the voltage begins to drop and the temperature begins to rise. Temperature and voltage can be used as criteria for determining the occurrence of an internal short circuit in a battery.
