  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 …

  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 …

  3. 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 …

  4. 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 …

  5. 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 …

  6. 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 …

  7. 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 …

  8. 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 …

  9. voltage - Why does USB have Vcc=5V and high=3.3V? - Electrical ...

    Sep 15, 2015 · The higher voltage allows compensation for voltage drop to the device. If USB was 3.3v then if you had a long cable and poor connectors with 0.5v of drop then the device will …

  10. Is current source also a voltage source? - Electrical Engineering …

    Dec 31, 2015 · In order to produce current, we need voltage, so then isn't a current source also a voltage source? Since a battery is a voltage source and it produces current when connected to …
