  2. Internal resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_resistance

    When the power source delivers current, the measured voltage output is lower than the no-load voltage; the difference is the voltage drop (the product of current and resistance) caused by the internal resistance. The concept of internal resistance applies to all kinds of electrical sources and is useful for analyzing many types of circuits.

  3. Current–voltage characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current–voltage...

    In this type the resistance varies with the applied voltage or current. Negative resistance vs positive resistance: If the I–V curve has a positive slope (increasing to the right) throughout, it represents a positive resistance. An I–V curve that is nonmonotonic (having peaks and valleys) represents a device which has negative resistance.

  4. IP code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code

    IP65 touchscreen display IP65 LED lamp. The IP code or ingress protection code indicates how well a device is protected against water and dust. It is defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under the international standard IEC 60529 [1] which classifies and provides a guideline to the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against ...

  5. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    Simplified model for powering a load with resistance R L by a source with voltage V S and resistance R S.. The theorem was originally misunderstood (notably by Joule [4]) to imply that a system consisting of an electric motor driven by a battery could not be more than 50% efficient, since the power dissipated as heat in the battery would always be equal to the power delivered to the motor when ...

  6. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Also called chordal or DC resistance This corresponds to the usual definition of resistance; the voltage divided by the current R s t a t i c = V I. {\displaystyle R_{\mathrm {static} }={V \over I}.} It is the slope of the line (chord) from the origin through the point on the curve. Static resistance determines the power dissipation in an electrical component. Points on the current–voltage ...

  7. Output impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_impedance

    Internal resistance varies with the age of a battery, but for most commercial batteries the internal resistance is on the order of 1 ohm. When there is a current through a cell, the measured e.m.f. is lower than when there is no current delivered by the cell.

  8. Voltage drop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_drop

    Voltage drops in the internal resistance of the source, across conductors, across contacts, and across connectors are undesirable because some of the energy supplied is dissipated. The voltage drop across the load is proportional to the power available to be converted in that load to some other useful form of energy.

  9. File:Battery IV curve showing negative static resistance.svg

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Battery_IV_curve...

    English: The current-voltage characteristic (IV curve) of an ideal battery, showing negative static resistance (red) in its normal operating range. The battery is modeled as a voltage source in series with a resistance R s representing the battery's internal resistance. V oc is the battery's open-circuit voltage and I sc = V oc /R s is the ...
