Voltage on ground can mean an open ground. It can also mean (high) current on ground, due to a ground fault such as reversed neutral and ground.

The voltage measured directly across an open switch in a circuit will be?

The voltage measured across an open in a series circuit is the equivalent of the sourse voltage.


What is open post voltage?

The open post voltage in electronics is the maximum voltage available from a solar cell. This will occur at zero current.


What reduces voltage?

It depends on what you mean by 'voltage'. For example, if you mean electromotive force (e.m.f.), then the internal resistance of a battery or generator will cause an internal voltage drop, resulting in the terminal voltage being lower than the open-circuit voltage and the greater the load, the lower the open-circuit voltage. On the other hand, if you are asking 'how' do you reduce voltage, then there are various ways. For a.c. voltages, we can use a step-down transformer. For d.c. voltages, we can use a variable resistor connected as a potentiometer, or a pair of fixed-value resistors to form a voltage divider.


What benefit is there for getting higher open circuit voltage?

There is no particular benefit for having a higher open-circuit (or 'no-load') voltage. In fact, an ideal voltage source would have no internal resistance and, therefore, its open-circuit voltage would be identical to its closed-circuit voltage.


How will you convert a open current circuit to a open voltage circuit?

The first thing you need to know is the internal resistance of the current source, the voltage source will have the same internal resistance. Then compute the open circuit voltage of the current source, this will be the voltage of the voltage source. You are now done.

Is transmission voltage a phase to phase voltage or a phase to ground voltage?

Phase to Phase voltageCorrection to the above answer:There is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or 'phase-to-ground' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' (or 'line voltage') and 'line-to-ground' (or 'phase voltage'). Transmission-line voltages are line-to-line (or 'line') voltages.

Can you use the same ground to measure input and output voltage in IC?

yes u can use.... ground is the closed loop connection(it is introduced for the circuit not to be open circuit condition).....if the vcc supply is dc input

What does ground do on a three prong plug receptacle?

The ground blade on a three blade plug (cap) is to provide a low impedance return to the voltage source. If the portable equipment develops a short in its circuit and goes to ground, it is this blade that will carry the short circuit current back to the supply distribution panel and trip the breaker open to cut off the supply voltage.

What are the differences between voltage and potential difference?

Voltage is the potential difference to the ground. By convention, ground potential is zero volt.The above answer is incorrect. 'Voltage', by definition, is potential difference. It has nothing to do with being measured with respect to ground -in fact potential difference (voltage) cannot be measured with respect to anything.
