  2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    A series circuit with a voltage source (such as a battery, or in this case a cell) and three resistance units. Two-terminal components and electrical networks can be connected in series or parallel. The resulting electrical network will have two terminals, and itself can participate in a series or parallel topology.

  3. Volt-ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt-ampere

    The volt-ampere (SI symbol: VA, [1] sometimes V⋅A or V A) is the unit of measurement for apparent power in an electrical circuit. It is the product of the root mean square voltage (in volts) and the root mean square current (in amperes). [2] Volt-amperes are usually used for analyzing alternating current (AC) circuits.

  4. Volt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt

    At that time, the volt was defined as the potential difference [i.e., what is nowadays called the "voltage (difference)"] across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power. The "international volt" was defined in 1893 as 1 ⁄ 1.434 of the emf of a Clark cell.

    Used to supply plate voltage in vintage vacuum tube equipment. Origin of the term B+ for plate voltage power supplies. Multiple B batteries may be connected in series to provide voltages as high as 300 V DC. Some versions have a tap at 22.5 volts. GB Battery: C Battery Eveready 761: 1.5 to 9 V: Threa­ded posts or banana sockets H: 76.2 L: 101. ...

  6. Bridged and paralleled amplifiers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridged_and_paralleled...

    Car audio amplifiers commonly have only a notional 13.8 volt supply, which would ordinarily limit the voltage swing available at the output to + and − 6.9 volts. Whilst it would be possible to achieve higher voltage swings by such means as DC-to-DC conversion of the supply voltage, using a bridge mode design allows for twice the voltage swing ...

  7. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    where E is the electric field vector with units of volts per meter (analogous to V of Ohm's law which has units of volts), J is the current density vector with units of amperes per unit area (analogous to I of Ohm's law which has units of amperes), and ρ "rho" is the resistivity with units of ohm·meters (analogous to R of Ohm's law which has ...

  8. Schmitt trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmitt_trigger

    The input loop acts as a series voltage summer that adds a part of the output voltage in series to the circuit input voltage. This series positive feedback creates the needed hysteresis that is controlled by the proportion between the resistances of R 1 and the whole resistance (R 1 and R 2). The effective voltage applied to the op-amp input is ...

  9. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    where is the current, measured in amperes; is the potential difference, measured in volts; and is the resistance, measured in ohms. For alternating currents , especially at higher frequencies, skin effect causes the current to spread unevenly across the conductor cross-section, with higher density near the surface, thus increasing the apparent ...
