Practice question
Question
What is the key factor determining the maximum current a battery can supply?
Explanation
Maximum current occurs when external resistance is zero, so I_{max = ε / r . The internal resistance ( r ) limits the current, as it’s the only resistance in the circuit under short-circuit conditions.
