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 "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 …
How much voltage/current is "dangerous"?
Likewise, if the current and voltage are below a certain level, a person can--given enough time--safely absorb an arbitrarily large amount of electrical energy. Further, if voltage is sufficiently …
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 …
Reducing voltage with resistors - Electrical Engineering Stack …
Sep 2, 2014 · As others have mentioned you can use a voltage divider of two resistors, but the voltage divider output will change if the load current changes. You can still use a voltage …
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 …
voltage - What is the difference between Vrms and Vm? - Electrical ...
I am relatively new here and I am confused as to the difference between Vrms and Vm. I would be obliged if someone can explain. (This in relation to 3-phase circuits would be even better) My …
Can a current source have a voltage across it?
Jan 6, 2016 · A current source can certainly have a voltage across it. If the voltage across a current source is zero, then it is not delivering or absorbing any power. However, if the voltage …
