Some common sources of voltage, (also known as "potential difference" or "electrical pressure") include:
For direct current (dc): single dry cells (and batteries containing several cells); dynamos; photovoltaic solar panels.
For alternating current (ac): alternators.

What voltage and frequencey do simple appliances use?
It depends where you are in the world. In North America the most common used voltage is 120/240 and the frequency is 60 Hertz.
What is the effects of more than one voltage source in a network?
Two voltage sources in series can either add up or cancel out depending on which way round they are orientated. If the two positive or the two negative terminals are connected together, the overall voltage is the subtraction of the two. If the positive terminal from one supply is connected to the negative terminal from another, the overall voltage is the sum of the two.
Which is Most common insulation at high voltage?
The most common insulation material for HV use remains porcelain. Synthetic materials are fast replacing porcelain as the insulation material of choice.
What is a common source for a voltage difference?
Batteries provide a voltage difference.
Why output voltage in common base amplifier is in phase to input voltage?
The output of a common emitter stage is inverted, it is not out of phase.
What is the most common source of an ac voltage?
In numbers, the most common sources of an AC voltage are the antennas of radios and TVs that are receiving radio signals. The next most common are electronic circuits that are oscillating, either by design or by accident. The least common are AC generators, such as the 'alternators' in cars and trucks, and the utilities' power generating stations.
What is more is correct v is proportional to i or i is proportional to v?
The induced current is proportional to applied voltage. i is proportional to v Or you might say, "A current source drives a fixed current through a circuit. Then the voltage developed is proportional to i" . Both forms are equally correct. Voltage sources are more common than current sources so the first form is more common.
What are independent and dependent sources?
An independent source is a source that produce constant currents and voltage. Dependent sources are voltage sources that depend on a voltage somewhere else in the network.
In what way can multiple sources be wired to provide the greatest amount of voltage?
When DC voltage sources are wired in series they become additive.
What voltage is produced and what is received in homes?
300 voltageAnswer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.In North American distribution system the most common voltage produced in a home is zero volts. The most common single phase voltage received from the utility supply is 120/240 volts.
What is the most common alternative energy source?
The most common alternate energy sources (as alternates to to fossil energy sources, oil, gas, and coal) are : nuclear energy, wind energy, and solar energy.
What is the most common sources for studying ancient near east literature?
what are the most commonly used sources for dtudying ancient near eastern literature
How sustainable are renewable sources?
Most of the renewable sources are renewable as they are not made by mad but through natural means. The most common renewable sources include solar, wind and water among others.
What is the difference between independent and dependent source?
Independent SourcesIndependent sources produce current/voltage at a particular rate that is dependent only on time. These sources may output a constant current/voltage, or they may output current/voltage that varies with time.Dependent SourcesDependent sources are current or voltage sources whose output value is based on time or another value from the circuit. A dependent source may be based on the voltage over a resistor for example, or even the current flowing through a given wire. The following sources are possible:Current-controlled current sourceCurrent-controlled voltage sourceVoltage-controlled current sourceVoltage-controlled voltage sourceDependent sources are useful for modelling transistors or vacuum tubes.
Why Common Emitter Configuration is most commonly used in amplifier circuits?
the common emitter configuration is most widely used in amplifer circuits because of its high voltage,current & power gain.the common emitter configuration is most widely used in amplifer circuits because of its high voltage,current & power gain.
What are two examples of voltage sources?
batteries and generators
