What exactly is voltage? - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange
The total voltage you get from one out and back, even with a high temperature difference is pretty small. By putting many of these out and back combinations together, you can get a useful …
How are current and voltage related to torque and speed of a …
Sep 3, 2012 · Voltage instead "regulates" how fast a motor can run: the maximum speed a motor can reach is the speed at which the motor generates a voltage (named "Counter-electromotive …
What is the difference between line and phase voltage?
Jun 26, 2025 · 2 In a three phase system, I’ve heard line voltage described as the RMS of the voltage difference between two lines coming from the power source and phase voltage is RMS …
Understanding Voltage and Current Phase Difference
May 10, 2025 · But the capacitor defines the voltage over resistor in an RC series circuit, because the capacitor voltage changes based on the charge it stores, and how the voltage changes …
What does a voltage or current source actually output?
Mar 17, 2024 · Voltage is the cause, current is the effect. So both sources provide a voltage on their terminals. In the voltage source the voltage on the output terminals has, or is intended to …
Why does voltage drop in a series circuit but current stays the …
May 23, 2021 · 3 Understanding voltage will clear your confusion as to why voltage drops in series circuits and currents stays the same. Hence I will try to explain to voltage (electric …
What is "forward" and "reverse" voltage when working with diodes?
Mar 3, 2011 · The reverse voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the cathode is more positive than the voltage at the anode (if you connect + to the cathode). This …
Voltage drop across a single resistor and across two resistors
Jul 20, 2020 · An intuitive way to look at is that all the voltage is dropped across two resistors, and since the resistors are the same, the voltage drop across each will be the same, each taking half.
Why does a resistor reduce voltage if V=IR? [duplicate]
You should read this the other way. Voltage varies directly with current. "R" is the constant of proportionality telling how much it varies. If I add in a resistor to a circuit, the voltage …
How to calculate voltage drop over and power loss in wires
How do I calculate the voltage drop over wires given a supply voltage and a current? How do I anticipate on voltage drop so that the final load has the correct supply voltage? What will be …
