  1. 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

  2. Why does a resistor reduce voltage if V=IR? [duplicate]

    You should read this the other way. Voltage varies directly with current. "R" is the constant of proportionality telling how much it varies. If I add in a resistor to a circuit, the voltage decreases. If …

  3. 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 …

  4. What is the difference between "reverse stand off voltage" and ...

    What is the difference between "reverse stand off voltage" and "breakdown voltage" on a TVS? Ask Question Asked 12 years, 10 months ago Modified 2 years, 5 months ago

  5. Why does reactive power affect voltage? - Electrical Engineering Stack ...

    Why does reactive power influence the voltage? Suppose you have a (weak) power system with a large reactive load. If you suddenly disconnect the load, you would experience a peak in the voltage. Is

  6. Why V rms instead of V average? - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

    RMS gives you the equivalent DC voltage for the same power. If you would measure the resistor's temperature as a measure of dissipated energy you'll see that it's the same as for a DC voltage of …

  7. Is it okay to use a power supply that provides slightly more voltage ...

    Any device will only draw as much current as it needs, so long as its power source can supply it. However, the laptop adapter's voltage is a full volt above the specified 18 V; this will cause more …

  8. 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 …

  9. voltage - What is ground and what does it do? - Electrical Engineering ...

    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 volts. A …

  10. Zener + MOSFET overvoltage protection - Electrical Engineering Stack ...

    When voltage of the correct polarity is applied, the mosfet is on and M1 is more or less invisible to the circuit. When reverse-polarity voltage is applied, M1 is off and its body diode is also blocking current …
