  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. 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 …

  3. Why does the voltage drop across a given resistor change when I …

    Why exactly does the voltage drop in R1 change when I add another resistor to the circuit? I understand that it has to change according to Ohm's Law (V = IR), but how does the amount …

  4. power - RMS voltage/current vs Average voltage/current

    Jan 27, 2026 · When the voltage is fixed, as at the supply voltage and transistor collector, then the true power is proportional to the (average) current times the voltage, since there is no squared …

  5. Is there a maximum forward voltage limit for diodes like the …

    Apr 16, 2025 · The voltage across the diode itself is proportional to the logarithm of the current through it. You don't get to control both the current and the voltage, independently. So as the …

  6. 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 …

  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. voltage - How many amperes can an alkaline AA battery supply ...

    Jun 15, 2021 · I've seen a Duracell alkaline AA battery on Amazon. It can supply 1.5 V, but I don't see any information about the current (in A) or the power (in W). Where can I find this …

  9. 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 …

  10. 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 …
