Best Answer

it measured 2million V. but in meteorology they suppose it as 3million V. per meter (if cloud is at 1km height 3million x 1000m gives you answer)

Meaning or definition of voltage in a parallel circuit?

Voltage is the electrical potential that is produced by a given source (ie, a battery or a generator). The voltage is not changed by the type or number of loads on a circuit. A voltage regulator and/or transformer may change the voltage within a perticular load, but cannot change the complete circuit voltage.


What happens to voltage in a series circuit?

Total voltage = the source. The voltage around the circuit is divided proportionally by each of the resistances in line. The current is = the source voltage divided by the sum of all the resistance.


When the voltage applied to the rheostat is doubled then tripled what happens to the rheostat?

The heat released by the rheostat with double the voltage will quadruple. When voltage is tripled, the power loss is 32 or 9 times that before. A rheostat is a kind of variable resistor. Since E = IR (voltage equals current times resistance), then I = E/R (current equals voltage divided by resistance). If the voltage is doubled and the resistance stays the same, then--you can see by the formula--the current would double. Now, power dissipated by a resistor is related to the product of the current and voltage (P = IE). But since a doubling of voltage produces also a doubling of current, double the current results in 2X2=4 times the power (heat) loss.
