Can you improve voltage level in the range of millivolt into a 15volt?

A voltage amplifier (high input and output impedances) with a gain of 83.5 dB will amplify a signal of 1 millivolt to an output of 15 volts.


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.


Does the area of a solar cell effect the voltage output?

It does :)


Does the size of battery indicate a high or low voltage?

No, the voltage is determined by the technology of the cell: Ni-Cad 1.2 v Alkaline 1.5 v Zinc chloride 1.6v Lithium 3 v


Is the emf of a cell equal to the total potential drop in the external circuit of the cell?

The EMF of a cell is the voltage across the terminals at zero current. This is the quoted cell voltage but as soon as a current is dawn from the cell, the voltage will drop. It's due to the internal resistance of the cell. In a circuit diagram, a cell is often shown as a voltage source (a perfect source) and a resistor in series to represent the internal resistance. Using Ohms Law, it can be seen that as soon as a current flows, a voltage will be developed across the internal resistance, so reducing the voltage that is seen at the terminals of the cell. The higher the current draw, the higher the voltage drop inside the cell. Normally, the voltage drop is minimal but in most cells, as it loses charge, the internal resistance rises. Eventually it will reach the point where most of the voltage is dropped across the internal resistance, leaving little to drive the intended load. Often, if a battery is removed from a device and measured, the voltage will be measured as equal to or very close to the quoted cell voltage. It is easy to make a judgment that a battery is good when it is almost dead. The only way to confirm the state of the battery is to measure the voltage at the terminals while the load is attached. The results can be very different to the off load voltage. Alkaline cells have a low internal resistance compared to other dry cells. This makes them well suited for high current drain applications. The internal resistance also rises more slowly than most other cells, so they remain useful far longer than zinc-carbon types.

What is meant by floating voltage source in the DC voltage system?

In battery technology, Float voltage is the constant voltage that is applied continuously to a voltaic cell under float operation. The voltage could be held constant for the entire duration of the cell's operation (such as in the SLI battery) or could be held for a particular phase of charging by the charger.

What is the common voltage for a cordless drill battery cell?

They used to be either Ni-Cd or NiMH, which made the cell voltage 1.2V. These days they can be Li-Po / Li-Io, which have about 3.6V cell voltage.
