  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 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 …

  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 …

  4. 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 …

  5. What is the difference between line and phase voltage?

    Jun 26, 2025 · 2 In a three phase system, I’ve heard line voltage described as the RMS of the voltage difference between two lines coming from the power source and phase voltage is RMS …

  6. 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 …

  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. 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 …

  9. Ohm's Law confusion -- can there be voltage without current?

    Apr 24, 2015 · 0 Ohm's Law confusion — can there be voltage without current? Yes. The wall outlet has voltage all the time, but current only flows if the circuit is closed with something that …

  10. 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 …
