How do you get a higher voltage?

Do a web search for "voltage doubler" or "voltage multiplier" and you will find many solutions. For AC, using appropriate diodes and resistors in the proper configuration with a transformer will do the trick. There are "step up" Transformers, which have a different number of windings on the primary and secondary coils. For DC circuits, you can obtain low-cost integrated circuits to effectively increase the input voltage. Look up "dc voltage doubler".

What is bigger 3.6v or 7.2v?

When looking at voltage numbers the higher the number the higher the voltage. In regards to which voltage is higher the 3.6v (volts) or the7.2v (volts), 7.2 is higher.


Does higher voltage result in higher current flow?

Yes, higher voltage typically results in higher current flow in a circuit, according to Ohm's Law.


Why do electrical power companies transform higher voltage to lower voltage for residential and commercial properties?

Because the higher voltage would be dangerous domestically.


Is higher voltage better for electronic devices?

Higher voltage is not necessarily better for electronic devices. Using a voltage higher than what the device is designed for can damage it. It is important to use the correct voltage to ensure the device functions properly and safely.


When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?

This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.


How do you get maximum spl?

The loudspeaker converts voltage to sound pressure. The higher the voltage at the speaker, the higher is the acoustic pressure you get.


What is power cable size for 1 kw 1 phase motor over 500 meters?

It depends on the voltage that the motor needs, because a higher voltage requires less current for a given amount of power. Also a higher voltage can tolerate a higher voltage drop. So there are two things that lead to a thinner wire when the voltage is higher.


What is the higher voltage at the electrode before the arc is struck called what is it's advantages to welding?

Open circuit voltage is the voltage at the electrode before striking an arc (with no current being drawn). The higher the open circuit voltage, the easier it is to strike an arc because of the initial higher voltage pressure.


What is the purpose of capacitor in power supply higher than rated voltage?

The voltage marked on a capacitor is its MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING VOLTAGE. The capacitor will work in a circuit at any voltage lower than that, but it may fail at any higher voltage.


Why is there change in terminal voltage as load applied to a three phase alternator?

The AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) control the DC field voltage to the rotor of the alternator, as soon as higher load is demanded from the alternator, the AVR output voltage go higher, hence, a higher AC voltage on the output of the alternator. If the voltage go to high then the AVR is faulty.
