Question

Batteries are always labeled with their emf; for instances an AA flashlight battery is labelled “ 1.5 V ”. Would it also be appropriate to put a label on batteries starting how much current they provide? Why or why not?

Short answer

No, it is not appropriate to put a label on batteries starting with how much current they provide.

Step-by-step solution

Definition of battery

The term battery may be defined as the work done in moving the positive electron in the object from one point to another.

 Determine label is appropriate or not.

The amount of current passing through the circuit depends upon its internal mechanics. That’s why the current passing through the batteries is not same for the all types of circuits.

Hence, it is not appropriate to put a label on batteries starting with how much current they provide.
