  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 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 …

  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. Zener diode forward voltage - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

    3 I'm trying to learn how Zener diodes work and I think I get the overall concept (regulating voltage to the zener voltage level), but there's one thing I don't understand. I'm looking at this diode …

  5. Why does voltage drop in a series circuit but current stays the …

    May 23, 2021 · 3 Understanding voltage will clear your confusion as to why voltage drops in series circuits and currents stays the same. Hence I will try to explain to voltage (electric …

  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 …

  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 …

  8. 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 …

  9. 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 …

  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 …
