  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 out and back is called a thermocouple, and can be used to sense temperature. Many together is a thermocouple generator. Yes, those actually ...

  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") which is equal to the voltage it receives from battery (disregarding power losses and frictions for simplicity).

  3. voltage - Minimum clearance between two traces that have a …

    Aug 30, 2017 · I am designing a PCB and there will be high voltages. What is the recommended clearance that I should have between two traces that have a voltage difference of 1000VDC and 2000VDC? Additionally, is

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

    33 On a transient voltage suppressor, let's take a unidirectional Fairchild P6KE11A for example, what is the main difference between reverse stand off voltage (VRWM V R W M) and breakdown voltage (VBR V B R) as shown on the chart on page 2? In my experiments with this part in reverse bias, it begins to conduct just at 10.65V.

  5. voltage - What is the difference between Vrms and Vm? - Electrical ...

    I am relatively new here and I am confused as to the difference between Vrms and Vm. I would be obliged if someone can explain. (This in relation to 3-phase circuits would be even better) My shot at

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

    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 low, the amount of current that can flow as a consequence of such …

  7. voltage - "Ground" vs. "Earth" vs. common vs. negative terminal ...

    Aug 4, 2014 · Voltage has exactly the same problem: one terminal can only "have a voltage" when compared to another terminal. Voltage acts like distance: voltage and distance are double-ended measurements. Or in other words, one terminal in a circuit always has many different voltages at the same time, depending on where we place the other meter lead.

  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 the common-mode voltage range when designing a circuit, and if so will the op-amp you choose still suffice for your application?

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

    Sep 15, 2015 · 35 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 only run at 2.8v. If the voltage is 5v the you still have 4.5v to work with and that is enough to run an LDO voltage regulator.

  10. voltage - Calculate battery state of charge percentage - Electrical ...

    What is the correct formula to calculate battery state of charge percentage based on the battery type (12v, 24v, 48v and so on) and the current battery voltage. For example if I have a 12v battery...
