This circuit measures:

  • The voltage of each cell

  • The current delivered by the group

    • This is done by forcing the battery to deliver current through a resistor with a tiny resistance. This resistor, called a shunt/shunt resistor, follows Ohm’s law: V=IR

    • This implies that I=V/R, which means that the current passing through a shunt is equal to its voltage (which can be measured easily), divided by its resistance (which is a known constant).

And it sends:
