  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. 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 like pressure in …

  4. Why does voltage drop across resistance contradict Ohm's law?

    Aug 10, 2020 · Here when current flows in this circuit, due to ohm's some voltage has to be dropped across the internal resistance r, causing the output voltage, i.e, the voltage available at cell terminals …

  5. 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 …

  6. 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 …

  7. 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 with the …

  8. Different voltage sources in parallel - Electrical Engineering Stack ...

    Apr 11, 2019 · I realize connecting two different voltage sources in parallel is a contradiction (in an ideal circuit). But if I were to connect this in practice and measure the voltage across points A and B, what …

  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. 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.
