  1. 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 voltage. A single …

  2. 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 force") …

  3. Why does a resistor reduce voltage if V=IR? [duplicate]

    According to Ohm's law, resistance varies directly with voltage You should read this the other way. Voltage varies directly with current. "R" is the constant of proportionality telling how much it varies. If …

  4. 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 is usually much …

  5. voltage - Is power proportional to V or V^2? - Electrical Engineering ...

    Jan 20, 2021 · If a variable voltage source is connected to a resistor, then the power is proportional to V2 V 2. If a variable voltage source is connected to a constant-current load (something which admits …

  6. 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.

  7. RMS value calculation of 3 phase line voltages for power calculations

    Apr 27, 2021 · For any three-phase load, the total power is sum of the power consumed per phase. For a balanced load, this simplifies to: In a wye connected load, line current equals phase current , but …

  8. Three phase power supply - what is line to line voltage

    Dec 4, 2013 · 2 Line to line voltage for a 3phase network (120deg separation) is sqrt (3)*phase voltage. So for a 230V 3ph network the line-line is 400V

  9. voltage - "Ground" vs. "Earth" vs. common vs. negative terminal ...

    Aug 4, 2014 · Voltage has exactly the same problem: one terminal can only "have a voltage" when compared to another terminal. Voltage acts like distance: voltage and distance are double-ended …

  10. 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 the power
