Best Answer

No. Voltage is the potential difference in energy between two charges. (Volts is joules per coulomb.) Since it is potential, that means it is relative, and in order to be relative, there must be two terminals.

What is the difference between the terminal voltage and the source voltage?

the source voltage is the voltage that measured exactly after the voltage source , but the terminal voltage is the voltage that measured in the load terminals , which equal to the source voltage minus the drop voltage on the transmission line .

What is difference between nominal and terminal voltage?

The rated voltage of a motor listed on the nameplate is called the terminal voltage. This indicates the actual voltage on the motors terminals at which at which the manufacturer designed to operate. Whereas, Nominal voltage is the design or configuration voltage of the electricity distribution system.

What is voltage regulation?

Voltage regulation:(from point of view of electrical machines or generator): It is the change in voltage in between the full loaded and no loaded condition. When there are no loads connected the terminal voltage is equal to the generated voltage in the generator. But when load is connected the terminal voltage is found to be lass than the no loaded condition, due to armature resistance leakage reactance.This phenomena is expressed as, % reg=(Vnl-Vfl)/Vfl * 100%.Which is Voltage regulation. ************************************************************ An ideal voltage source has zero internal impedance. A practical one, even a good one, has internal impedance. With no load on the source, the terminal voltage will have a given value. Once a load current is drawn there will be a voltage drop across the source's internal impedance, and the terminal voltage will therefore drop. The higher the load current, the higher the voltage drop. A regulator circuit, added after the source, can counter the effect of the source's impedance and maintain an output voltage which is more constant than the source itself can achieve.


What is open circuit characteristic?

The terminal voltage is equal to the supply voltage and there is zero current.
