The three basic principles for this tutorial can be explained using electrons, or more specifically, the charge they create: Voltageis the difference in charge between two points. Currentis the rate at which charge is flowing. Resistanceis a material's tendency to resist the flow of charge (c...
Current, Voltage and Resistance In a circuit, current is the flow of electrons. Voltage is the electrical potential difference between two points. Resistance is something that resists the flow of electrons. If this sounds Greek to you, don’t worry. Think about it this way: If you have wate...
The peculiarities of the dependence of the conductivity on the voltage σ(V) the HTS-metal junctions were explained by the sharp increasing of the resistance when the weak links in HTS transit from the superconductive state to the resistive one. Therefore, the σ(V) of a system of the ...
A graph of voltage against current is a straight line. The gradient is the resistance. Practitioners rarely speak of potential difference, when electrical voltage (drop) is meant. VIR Electrical voltage = current times resistance "VIR" Input: current I × amperes resistance R ohms Output: ...
From the above equation, it is clear that the load current depends on the input voltage and the inputresistance. That is, the load current, , which is the input voltage. The loadcurrentis controlled by theresistor, R. Here, the proportionality constant is 1/R. ...
To convert a voltage source into an equivalent current source, we need to find two parameters: the output current and the internal resistance of the current source. The output current of the equivalent current source is equal to the short-circuit current of the original voltage source. This mea...
the voltage difference between the terminals. According to the Ohm’s Law, the current in a conductor proportionally changes with the voltage. Although current and voltage are interconnected by the resistance, current cannot exist without a voltage. This is the difference between current and voltage...
When load resistanceRL, is connected across such a source, current flows from positive terminal to negative terminal via the load. This current is the conventional current however the flow of electrons are in the opposite direction. DC voltage source ...
The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit. Voltage can be either AC or DC, depending on the current that is carrying it. In DC systems, the current never changes direction. It is unidirectional, i.e., it does not change polarity.But in AC systems, the current...
