Voltage
The Concept of Voltage and Current is
sometimes difficult for electronics beginner. Voltage is
tries to make the Current Flow.
Voltage is equal
to energy per unit charge. Voltage is measured in volts.
In more precise terms it is the computation of the
potential for an electric field to cause an
electric current in
a conductor. Voltage is also called as Electrical
Tension. Voltage is also known as
Potential Difference . Voltage can be said as
difference between two points. It is Possible to Have
Voltage without Electric Current but you cannot have
current flowing unless their is a Voltage. If in Series
it adds up whereas in Parallel it is same across all
components.
DC circuits
Formulas
V=Root of P*R
V=I*R
where V =
potential difference (volts), I = current intensity
(amps), R = resistance (ohms), P = power (watts).
AC circuits
Formulas
V=P/I cos φ
V=(root of PZ)/cos
φ
V=I*R/cos
φ
Where V=Voltage,
I=Current, R=Resistance, P=power, Z=impedance, φ=phase
difference between I and V
We can easily
measure
potential difference
using a
voltmeter,
potentiometer or an
oscilloscope
