What do you mean by series voltage regulator vs shunt voltage regulator?

wala... secret
In general the difference between series and shunt (or parallel) is that series is like a string of pearls, each one receives from a leading source and sends directly to a draining target (the current has to flow equally through all).
Parallel however is like a railroad track in that the source is one rail and the drain is the other rail with each of the ties pulling from one and pushing into the other regardless of what any of the other "ties" are doing (each has a completely separate current flow from the others).
In terms of regulation a series regulator would have to "block" some of the power going through it to the load in order to regulate it. A shunt or parallel regulator would have to "drop" or waste enough of the limited available power to restrict what would be left available to the load (or loads).
Hope this overview helps

If the resistance in ohms is higher than the voltage what does that mean?
Voltage is not measured in ohms. It is measured in volts.
Why you use parallel resonance circuit instead of series resonance circuit in tuned voltage amplifier?
At resonance...a parallel tank circuit matches the applied sine voltage so close that there is almost 0 current flow from the source...i.e., max impedance at resonance...the capacitor and inductor are swapping energy with each other in tune with the source... visualize it...in order to have 0 current flow for an incoming varying voltage...that would mean that the tank voltage would be varying exactly at the same frequency and voltage! Thus...you have effectively "tuned" into a voltage which would be critical in 'tuned' voltage amplifier... A series resonant circuit does not tune into a voltage...in fact at resonance the voltage across the inductor capacitor will be 0!...a short or minimum impedance condition Of course my discussion assumed ideal components...in the real world there will be 'stray' resistances which will alter the results in magnitude to the size of the resistance... Hope this helps
What happens when you connect two batteries of different voltages together?
If by capacities you mean voltages then they will add in series and have the voltage of the lower one in parallel. Putting them in parallel will generate alot of heat because the wire acts as resistor to allow the current to drop from the first battery to the second.
What does voltage current mean?
V=IR, voltage is directly propostional to current and resistance (by ohm's law).CommentVoltage is not 'proportional to resistance'. Resistance is a constant, and is not affected by voltage at all.
What is RMS in electricity?
RMS stands for Root Mean Square. Power is calculated as V2/R where V is the voltage and R is the resistive component of a load, This is easy toi calculate for a DC voltage, but how to calculate it for a sinusoidal voltage? The answer is to take all the instantaneous voltages in the sine wave, square them, take the mean of the squares, then take the square root of the result. This is defined as the "heating effect voltage". For a sine wave, this is 0.707 of the peak voltage.
What does an eighty-five Plymouth reliant station wagon regulator look like?
Assuming you mean the voltage regulator. Chrysler products of that era used the "One wire system". The voltage regulator is integral to the alternator.
Where is the voltage regulator on a Mazda Protege?
The regulator is inside of the alternator.
How do you start voltage regulator in a Dodge ram 1990 van?
Ask your question again because I believe you mean a starter. I've never seen anyone start a voltage regulator.
Where is the voltage regulator for the instrument panel in a 1990 thunderbird?
Do you mean rheostat for brightness control of dash lights? Usually in the dimmer control switch Voltage regulator for engine operation--inside the alternator
Where is the external regulator for the alternator on a 77 dodge power wagon?
YOU MEAN THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR? The voltage regulator is basically a gatekeeper that will shut off the flow of juice to your battery if the voltage goes above a certain level, usually 14.5 volts. This keeps your battery from getting overcharged and cooked. They call it an external voltage regulator nowdays because newer alternators have them built into the alternator unit itself
What is the difference between a voltage divider circuit and voltage regulator I was told if the circuit consumes low current then the voltage divider can be used what does that mean?
A: that is true for less current a divider is OK it has to do with the series resistance and loading if the loading is forever fixed and the source is also fixed at a value then a divider can be used no matter what the current is.
What is a zener diod?
A Zener diode is a type of diode that sends current in the forward way like a normal diode, but also in the reverse direction if there is voltage that is larger than the breakdown voltage which is also known as "Zener voltage". The apparatus was named after Clarence Zener, who discovered this electrical property.
What does it mean when the battery gauge reads high in your ford crown Victoria?
Voltage regulator is defective. Have it replaced or this will ruin your battery.
What does PQ and OR PD designation mean for an electronic part on a laptop motherboard?
PQ are voltage regulator chips for protection that ground voltage if short circuit is detected. Don't know what is PD
What does it mean when volt light is on?
The voltage light coming on indicates a problem. The system has determined that the voltage has become either too high or too low. This is most commonly a bad alternator or regulator.
What does it mean if 1990 Chrysler Imperial 'improper voltage' light comes on and the gauges all go crazy?
sounds like your alternator or voltage regulator is going out most auto zones can test them for free
What does it mean when the battery light is on in a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII?
In all probability the alternator is not charging as it should. It could be from a bad voltage regulator or the alternator being defective.
