No. Voltage is the potential difference in energy between two charges. (Volts is joules per coulomb.) Since it is potential, that means it is relative, and in order to be relative, there must be two terminals.

What is terminal voltage?

Terminal voltage is the voltage gotten at the terminals of the load in any system.


If the excitation of generator changes what happens to the terminal voltage?

By Decreasing the excitation voltage the terminal voltage will decrease and similarly by increasing the excitation voltages the terminal voltage will also increases.


What is the difference between the terminal voltage and the source voltage?

the source voltage is the voltage that measured exactly after the voltage source , but the terminal voltage is the voltage that measured in the load terminals , which equal to the source voltage minus the drop voltage on the transmission line .


If you have two 1.5-V batteries and they have the positive terminal of one batery connected with the negative terminal of another how does that voltage compare with the voltage of a single battery?

When you connect the positive terminal of one 1.5V battery to the negative terminal of another, you create a series circuit. In this case, the voltage is additive, so the total voltage across the two batteries is 3V (1.5V + 1.5V = 3V), which is double the voltage of a single battery.


When measuring voltage how should test probes be connected?

First connect the positive terminal of the voltage line to positive terminal of multimeter and negative to negative terminal of multimeter. Select voltage in multimeter and measure the voltage


If a voltmeter has one black and two red terminals how should it be connected?

The black terminal is typically connected to the negative terminal on the circuit, while one of the red terminals is connected to the positive terminal. The other red terminal is used to measure the voltage across the circuit by placing it in parallel with the component or point where you want to measure the voltage.


What is the off load voltage of the generator?

Terminal voltage is the voltage between the output terminals of a generator.


What is difference between nominal and terminal voltage?

The rated voltage of a motor listed on the nameplate is called the terminal voltage. This indicates the actual voltage on the motors terminals at which at which the manufacturer designed to operate. Whereas, Nominal voltage is the design or configuration voltage of the electricity distribution system.


What effect if excitation voltage raise on load?

The generator terminal voltage will increase.


What is voltage regulation?

Voltage regulation:(from point of view of electrical machines or generator): It is the change in voltage in between the full loaded and no loaded condition. When there are no loads connected the terminal voltage is equal to the generated voltage in the generator. But when load is connected the terminal voltage is found to be lass than the no loaded condition, due to armature resistance leakage reactance.This phenomena is expressed as, % reg=(Vnl-Vfl)/Vfl * 100%.Which is Voltage regulation. ************************************************************ An ideal voltage source has zero internal impedance. A practical one, even a good one, has internal impedance. With no load on the source, the terminal voltage will have a given value. Once a load current is drawn there will be a voltage drop across the source's internal impedance, and the terminal voltage will therefore drop. The higher the load current, the higher the voltage drop. A regulator circuit, added after the source, can counter the effect of the source's impedance and maintain an output voltage which is more constant than the source itself can achieve.


How to add a capacitor and resistor in parallel?

To add a capacitor and resistor in parallel, simply connect one terminal of the capacitor to one terminal of the resistor, and then connect the other terminal of the capacitor to the other terminal of the resistor. This creates a parallel circuit where both components share the same voltage.


How can one determine whether a conductor or terminal is live?

To determine if a conductor or terminal is live, you can use a non-contact voltage tester or a multimeter set to measure voltage. Keep in mind safety precautions and ensure the equipment is working properly before testing. Approach the conductor or terminal with caution.
