Technically, a voltage drop occurs when electric potential decreases along the path of the current flowing in an electrical circuit. It’s the drop in potential that causes lights to dim. A good way to understand a voltage drop is to compare it to water pressure. Electrical power, measured i...
In a home security system, you aim the beam at the light sensor, across a passageway in your house. When somebody walks between the light source and the sensor, the path of the beam is blocked briefly. The sensor registers a drop in light levels and sends a signal to the control box....
What is the voltage drop across the 2\ \mu F capacitor for the given circuit? After a long time has progressed, what should be the voltage across the capacitor? What is the voltage of electricity that is generally supplied to a house? You are given the voltage divider as shown in figure...
In a typical circuit of this type, the input and output are connected with a transistor (RVT1 in the picture below). The input voltage is reduced by the voltage across the transistor, which causes the output voltage to drop. Linear DC-DC converters are the simplest converter types, as ...
Whether one is working at home, in a laboratory, or in a manufactory, one is exposed to various risks and dangers arising from the equipment, chemicals, and the unpredictable actions of other people present. Working with acids and toxic chemicals, can lead to burns, while heavy machinery may...
Transformers are not perfect and impedance exists in them that causes a volt drop within the transformer when current flows. The more current that flows the larger the volt drop and so the output voltage falls. The regulation of a transformer is the difference in the no-load voltage to the ...
Inside a house in the winter months, the relative humidity within the walls can drop to that of the average desert, turning studs -- wooden wall supports -- into kindling, easily ignited by an arcing current. Here we arrive at one of the problems with electrical fires: By the time you ...

According to Ohm’s law (opens in a new tab), a current flowing through a resistor creates a voltage drop. This voltage drop is always proportional to the current. Since the current is non-sinusoidal, the voltage drop will also be non-sinusoidal.Thus, the voltage waveform gets distorted. ...
it were an event of singular nature. While semiconductors are still a commodity business at heart, its end markets are so numerous—computers, communications infrastructure, automotive, consumer products, etc.— that it is unlikely that excess capacity in one area will bring the whole house down....
