  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 force") …

  2. 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 …

  3. 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 like pressure in …

  4. 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 voltage of a …

  5. 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 …

  6. 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 …

  7. 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 …

  8. Why are voltage and current inversely proportional to power, but ...

    If power is a constant, then, yes, current and voltage are inversely proportional since power is their product. Again, this has nothing to do with Ohm's Law. Ohm's law says that voltage and current are …

  9. Voltage drop across a single resistor and across two resistors

    Jul 20, 2020 · An intuitive way to look at is that all the voltage is dropped across two resistors, and since the resistors are the same, the voltage drop across each will be the same, each taking half.

  10. 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 …
