  1. 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 …

  2. 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 …

  3. Why does power supply have a negative rail if can only output positive ...

    Jun 4, 2024 · According to the datasheet of this power supply, the output voltage goes from 0~60 VDC. If the output can't be negative, why does it have a negative rail beside ground?

  4. Voltage of Incandescent Christmas Mini Bulbs [closed]

    Dec 18, 2023 · The simplest solution is to wire an incandescent lamp in series with your lights. The smaller the wattage, the higher the resistance and the more voltage drop you'll get. The problem is …

  5. operational amplifier - How to derive the output voltage expression for ...

    May 19, 2025 · This treats the potentiometer as a basic voltage divider between the supply rails. My questions: Is this expression for the non-inverting input valid? How can I derive the complete output …

  6. capacitor - Voltage vs frequency in RLC circuit - Electrical ...

    Nov 12, 2021 · Why at some particular frequency (fc), the capacitor voltage goes beyond supply voltage (Vs) value? At series resonance, inductive reactance and capacitive reactance values cancel out …

  7. 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") …

  8. inductive - DC motor voltage kickback when turning off - Electrical ...

    Mar 4, 2024 · The reason the voltage across the motor dies away slowly is because in the absence of current driven through it, it becomes a generator. That is, the spinning rotor has momentum, and …

  9. 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.

  10. 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 …
