  1. 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 …

  2. 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 …

  3. 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 …

  4. What determines the voltage rating of a cable, and why do some …

    Oct 31, 2022 · Just as an example, let's consider two cables, with voltage ratings being respectively 300/300 V and 300/500 V. My understanding is that voltage rating is an indication …

  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. 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 …

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

    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 …

  8. How to reduce DC voltage using resistors?

    Jul 10, 2013 · How would one go about using a 12 V DC power source to power something which needs 4.5 V DC using resistors? Is there a way to determine how much adding a resistor …

  9. 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 …

  10. 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 …
