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 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 …
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 …
What, exactly, is voltage? - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange
Aug 22, 2020 · And also if voltage is like gravitational potential energy, how does more voltage mean more current? And here our nice analogy breaks down. In this sense voltage is more …
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 …
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 …
voltage - Help me understand the relationship between positive ...
Some circuits need a negative voltage, so the positive side of a battery would be "ground". Some circuits need positive and negative voltages, in which case there could be two batteries, one …
What exactly does "common-mode" mean in the context of op …
Most, or maybe all, topologies could end up outside of common mode voltage ranges at some specific time. What is important is to understand under what conditions will you be outside of …
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 …
