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 …
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 …
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 …
How much voltage/current is "dangerous"? - Electrical Engineering …
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 low, the …
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 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 …
How to reduce DC voltage using resistors?
Jul 10, 2013 · How would one go about using a 12 V DC power source to power something which needs 4.5 V DC using resistors? Is there a way to determine how much adding a resistor would drop the …
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 …
Input voltage for feedback pin on LM2596 Voltage regulator
Oct 9, 2015 · The voltage at the feedback pin is typically 1.23 volts but can be as low as 1.18 volts or as high as 1.28 volts (see top of page 4 of the data sheet). Somewhere in that small range will be a …
voltage - How many amperes can an alkaline AA battery supply ...
Jun 15, 2021 · I've seen a Duracell alkaline AA battery on Amazon. It can supply 1.5 V, but I don't see any information about the current (in A) or the power (in W). Where can I find this information?
