  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 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 …

  4. What exactly does "common-mode" mean in the context of op-amps?

    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 the common …

  5. How much voltage/current is "dangerous"?

    6 It's not the voltage but the current that kills, is a popular yet still incorrect incomplete answer. It is the ENERGY that kills. With static electricity you will will be exposed to voltages much, much, much …

  6. Does LED brightness change with voltage?

    Sep 6, 2016 · The voltage only needs to be slightly above the forward voltage rating of the LED. A common way to control brightness is through pulse width modulation (PWM). Instead of giving a LED …

  7. 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 …

  8. Reducing voltage with resistors - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

    Sep 2, 2014 · As others have mentioned you can use a voltage divider of two resistors, but the voltage divider output will change if the load current changes. You can still use a voltage divider and fix this …

  9. 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 …

  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
