If you had a simple circuit of one hot wire (10 ohms), a load (100 ohms), and a neutral wire (10 ohms) at 120 volts;
total resistance would be 120 ohms,
divide 120 volts by 120 ohms = 1 amp (electrons),
current stays the same in a series circuit,
so 1 amp would flow through each part of the circuit,
1 amp times 10 ohms equals 10 volts dropped on each wire,
120 - (10 + 10) = 100 volts left for the load,
1 amp through the 100 ohm load proves this

Why drop voltage in xlpe cable is more than PVC cable?
The voltage drop in a wire has nothing to do with the insulation. Voltage drop has to do with the cross sectional area of the wire.
What is the basic mechanism responsible for emission of visible radiation in an LED?
by applying a voltage across the boundary of two semi-conductors electrons are forces to travel across the boundary. This boundary has a voltage drop and the electrons are required to lose a discrete amount of energy in crossing it. In the case of the light emitting diode, it is a energy in the range of visible light.
Voltage drop not exceeding what percent is allowed for feeders?
According to the NEC (national electric code) a maximum of 2% voltage drop is allowed.
What is the voltage drop for 16 mm Cable over 100 meters?
The voltage drop depends on the current through the cable.For DC current in cable of 16 mm diameter, at 68° F, the voltage drop is(0.00857) x (current, Amperes) volts.
What is the most reasonable explanation for a drop in temperature of a gas?
tho6
Why there is a voltage drop in a resistor?
Any device as soon as electrons flow there is restriction caused by materials opposing this electrons flow.
What is potential drop?
There is no difference between potential difference and potential drop. Both terms refer to the difference in voltage (i.e. potential) across a component. Depending on how you look at it, both terms can refer to positive or negative differences, i.e. drop, for instance, can be negative, implying a rise.
What is volts drop?
the voltage drop means whenever the conductor passing through the supply voltage, according to the resistivity property to reduces the some amount of voltage that drop is known as voltage drop for example the resistance is used to drop the voltage to the circuit.............................................
What is the voltage drop using?
Voltage drop is caused by circuit resistance
The voltage drop in line can be decreased by?
The voltage drop in a line can be decreased by
What is the effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage?
The effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage is that the input voltage will not be totally transferred to the output because power loss in the diode . The output voltage will then be given by: vout=(vin)-(the diode voltage drop).
What cause the voltage drop in shunt generator when its loaded?
because the voltage likes to drop
Why drop voltage in xlpe cable is more than PVC cable?
The voltage drop in a wire has nothing to do with the insulation. Voltage drop has to do with the cross sectional area of the wire.
Why peak voltage of the load is smaller than the voltage from the transformer output?
The voltage appearing across a load is always smaller than the no-load voltage of any voltage source -e.g. batteries, generators, or transformers. In simple terms this is because all these voltage sources have internal resistance or impedance which results in an internal voltage drop when the source delivers a load current. The resulting voltage, therefore, is always the difference between the no-load voltage and the internal voltage drop. A measure of the difference between a source's no-load and full-load voltage is termed its 'voltage regulation'.
What is the difference between voltage forward voltage and voltage drop?
Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source voltage.
What effect does it have on the voltage drop in an electrical cable if the resistance of the cable is decreased?
It will decrease the voltage drop.
What will be the voltage drop when diode and resistance are used in series in a circuit?
voltage drop deviding accure
