Why voltage drop occurs?

Every component in a series circuit must have a potential difference across its terminals if current is to flow through that component. We call each of these individual potential differences a 'voltage drop', which is actually a bit of a misnomer as it's not really a 'drop' at all; it would be better termed a 'distribution'. The sum of these 'voltage drops' will then equal the supply voltage applied to the entire circuit.


What is an equipotential surface?

It's a surface over which electric charges are evenly distributed, caused by the mutual repulsion between charges of the same polarity.


What causes an electrical contactor to make a buzzing noise when activated and what should be done about it?

Contactor chatter can be caused by a broken shading ring winding on the pole face of the contactor. Low voltage to the coil can be another reason for contactor chatter. A constant hum on a contactor will be caused by misalignment to the two pole faces. Check for rust building up on the two surfaces.


How do you control fluctuating power in rural home?

To control fluctuating power in a rural home I'm assuming you mean the power or lights dim out when certain electrical appliances come on. This fluctuation or dimming of the lights will sometimes occur when a well water pump kicks on, or the home AC starts, usually any major appliance that has a large amperage draw, even a household refrigerator. Typically the dimming of the lights is caused by too small of wires feeding the main electrical panel to the home. I would recommend having a licensed electrician look at the electrical service coming into your home. Hope this helps some.


One possible risk caused by mains voltages?

-- proliferation of electrical and electronic devices in the home, leading to a surprising and shocking bill at the end of the month; -- excessive current flowing in an inadequately sized conductor, leading to overheating and possible fire; -- grave mortal danger to a human person, caused by placing his body in-circuit between the mains supply and a grounded point. Note that none of these risks is "caused by" the mains voltage. Any risk is due to careless and inattentive handling of the mains supply by people responsible for its proper use. In this respect, mains voltage is no more risky than a car, a bottle of sleep aid tablets, a pistol, or a discarded banana peel.

No. Lightning is caused by electrical charges travelling from clouds to the earth, earth to clouds or cloud to cloud. Thunder is caused by lightning.


Does Magnetic forces act when electrons move?

Yes. To be more accurate, a magnetic field is caused whenever there are moving electrical charges. Even the magnetic field in a permanent magnet are caused by more electrons moving around their atoms in one direction, than in the other.Yes.

What is a TVSS in Electrical Engineering?

A TVSS is a transient Voltage Suppression System. It activates in times of a high voltage condition. The high voltage condition could be caused by many things such as a lightning strike or a transformer failure.


What does a electrocardiograph do?

It measures and records the potentials (e-m voltage) at the surface of your body. These voltage changes are caused by the depolarization of your heart cells acting together - that is, as your heart beats it produces an electrical field fluctuation which can be detected.

How can you get the largest voltage difference?

There is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'! 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', so what you appear to be asking is "How do you get the largest potential difference difference?'! Potential difference is caused by the separation of charges between two points. The greater the amount of charge separation, the greater the potential difference.


Are deep currents caused by differences in pressurre?

What is the most common force causing electrostatic charges?

There isn't any such force. Charges are not caused by force. However, the "Electrostatic Force" is caused by the separation of charges.
