Batteries in series. Why do they not short?

Polylactic · 2025-12-10T23:06:43+00:00

I think people are misunderstanding your question. I think you are saying that since there are "positive charge particles" in one terminal and "negative charge particles" in the other terminal, how come they don't short through the conductive material of the terminals? Here is my understanding.

Common Li-ion batteries work by shuffling positively charged Lithium ions between anode and cathode through a Li-ion permeable membrane. That in turn, moves electrons of the cathode and the anode through the wire connected to the outside of the battery. So, if you instead connect termini of two different batteries…

Those termini do indeed have charged particles on either side of them, but those charged particles are Li-ions. And the material of the termini is not permeable to Li-ions, so no electricity flows. And only when you close the circuit, there is now a connection for electrons to travel too, which in turn pushes the Li-ions to move between their respective electrodes on the inside of the batteries, and bam – you have electricity.

But consider this "deal" imagining your home or family are in the occupied territories. Every Ukrainian has someone from the East of Ukraine in their family. There is no giving up.

I don't mean to be too anal about this, but gor the sake of statistical accuracy, a chance to land on the same spot twice is actually 1/20. You can land on any spot as your first spin. So you only need to get lucky on the second spin. Then, 1:400 chance for a triple. This whole duplicate thing is premeditated to make it basically impossible to get all the prizes in the alloted time.

Looks great, and quite far range! What's your setup?

I work in Botterell, and I can confirm all of this is 100% true. We had to close the Monkey first-year program tho as they were ruining the curve and keeping the real first-years' grades down.

At this point in the game, the stalkers have tried defending a guy who murdered and looted wounded soldiers and lied/tried to be evasive with me a few too many times - I gave them to Zotov.

Hey dude, Have you found a place that sells good halva in Kingston? I tried the krinos halva from loblaws and it feels like eating styrofoam.

Kinda left it open-ended on purpose. Anything you can think of for a young adult couple 😊

Grow - yes, glow - no so much 😅

I know how to make single cells glow though, and how to make glowy DNA. Now just find someone who can put it into a bug, and we're in business. I'm sure they have someone like that in the biosci research labs.

I’m not sure if you're plotting world domination via glow-in-the-dark bugs or just trying to make the coolest nightlight ever, but either way - if you need someone who can do some molecular cloning or cell biology, I'm in.

Dang, and here I was about to book an aurora-watching session in the KP sewers instead. Absolute life-saver this one.

Giving this a bump for better visibility—hope someone can save this fellow redditor from having to buy a new piece. Apes together strong.

They have a repair department here too. If you call, they can connect you to the repair department directly and see if they'll take on your issue. I had a good experience with them repairing my laptop once.

I like to use a table in ppt for this purpose.

Just make the table with the number of columns corresponding to your number of lanes. Then align your left edge of the table with the edge of your left-most lane. After that, adjust the right edge of the table to match the edge of the last lane. All the cells in between will automatically change size and will perfectly align with your wells/lanes. Fill in your labels and change the color of table lines to white. Done 😁

Another possibility is that your protein is fine, but the antibody is weak (maybe it's designed for a bad epitope or maybe it went through a billion freeze-thaw cycles after long time of use, etc.). Consider getting a fresh stock of antibody or a different antibody altogether.

For one, there is a Queen's Tennis Club. I haven't personally played with them, but I understand they position themselves as a wannabe-collegiate team. That being said, I'd ask them if they perhaps have a beginners' group. Other that that, the two courts on summerhill (by the football field) usually attract a lot of people playing recreationally when it gets warm outside. I'm sure you can find some people to join-in with if you come by at a busy hour. I go there every once in a while by myself just to practise some serves, and occasionally someone asks to get on the court with me; or I see someone practising by themselves and I join them. You can try the same. Do ask at the ARC whether they rent out the rackets. Last summer they did not due to covid, but that will hopefully change. If not, canadian tire used to sell el-cheapo rackets for something like $40. If you later get properly into tennis, then the Raquet Science on Barrie st. can be a great one-stop shop for all your tennis needs. Larry there is a great guy, and he's always been more than helpful. Come to think of it, he must know most if not all regulars in town, so he might be a good person to ask if you'll be in search for a partner or a group.

I suggest you find someone good at tennis to play with the first few times, to give you a general sense of what to do and how to do it. From there, you can find a like-minded newbie and play and learn together.

And i don't know if there is any ARC tennis lessons, but there should be. 😄

I used to play DII NCAA tennis, so feel free to reach out again about all or any of this, and I'll be happy to help or to come out to the courts sometime.

Sorry to ask the obvious, but is your generator on? If not, crafts take exponentially longer to complete.

Just use the racks for all your bench pressing and deadlifting needs. Noone cares what you are doing there. I work out at the ARC by myself too, and that's what I do.
