  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 the difference between line and phase voltage?

    Jun 26, 2025 · 2 In a three phase system, I’ve heard line voltage described as the RMS of the voltage difference between two lines coming from the power source and phase voltage is RMS …

  5. 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 …

  6. 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 …

  7. 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 …

  8. 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 …

  9. voltage - Is power proportional to V or V^2? - Electrical …

    Jan 20, 2021 · Yes, because I is a function of V, as long as we're talking about resistors. Power is linearly proportional to voltage, though, if you're talking about a constant current device.

  10. voltage - What is ground and what does it do? - Electrical …

    What meaning does the voltage of a floating voltage source have? If I have voltage source with value V between nodes a and b, it means that the voltage difference between a and b will be V …
