  1. 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 have, a …

  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") …

  3. Why did current increase when voltage decreased?

    Jan 6, 2024 · At a lower voltage, you need more current to provide the same power. So any device that is designed to provide the same power regardless of voltage will draw more current as the voltage …

  4. Why does voltage drop across resistance contradict Ohm's law?

    Aug 10, 2020 · Here when current flows in this circuit, due to ohm's some voltage has to be dropped across the internal resistance r, causing the output voltage, i.e, the voltage available at cell terminals …

  5. Can a current source have a voltage across it?

    Jan 6, 2016 · A current source can certainly have a voltage across it. If the voltage across a current source is zero, then it is not delivering or absorbing any power. However, if the voltage across the …

  6. 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 is usually much …

  7. 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 with the …

  8. 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 it varies. If …

  9. Different voltage sources in parallel - Electrical Engineering Stack ...

    Apr 11, 2019 · I realize connecting two different voltage sources in parallel is a contradiction (in an ideal circuit). But if I were to connect this in practice and measure the voltage across points A and B, what …

  10. 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 information?
