  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. Understanding Voltage and Current Phase Difference

    May 10, 2025 · 1 I am having trouble understanding the concept of voltage and current having a phase difference in AC circuits. I have recently begun exploring AC circuits and have just …

  4. 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 …

  5. 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 …

  6. 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 …

  7. How to allow smaller clearance between two specific high-voltage …

    Dec 27, 2025 · Because there is never a voltage difference between them, I would like the clearance between these two specific nets to be only 0.2 mm, while still keeping 0.6 mm …

  8. Volts vs voltage - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

    Jul 30, 2015 · As I have understood it voltage is electric potential difference while volts are just electric potential. So I can say that the negative end (ground) of a battery has many volts since …

  9. 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 …

  10. 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 …
