What is voltage?

A type of "pressure" that drives electrical charges through a circuit. Voltage is how the electric potential energy differences are measured.


What are laws in electricity?

Scroll down to related links and look at "Electricity and Electric Charge - Electrical voltage V, amperage I, resistivity R, impedance Z, wattage P".


What is the name of the electrical pressure that causes current to flow in a circuit?

Electrical pressure is called "electro-motive force" (EMF). It is measured in volts. Pressure and the quantity of electricity transmitted can be considered analogous to pressure and quantity of water flowing in pipes: the longer the distance, the higher is the pressure (called the "voltage" for electricity) that is necessary to pump the flow of water (called the "flow of electrical charge, which is also known as the "electric current"). That is why, for long distance transmission, high pressure (voltage for electricity) is required, failing which, the current - and therefore the power - will not reach the intended destination. Instead, it will be lost (also called "dissipate") along the way. We can think of electrical current as the quantity of electricity which will be drawn from the pipeline (= cables for electricity) at the pressure (= voltage) required.


What is 240v?

Why does the voltage drop as electricity flows through a light bulb?

Do you mean why is the voltage in a circuit lower after the light bulb than before it? If so, it's because the light bulb filament has electrical resistance. When an electrical current flows through a resistance, there is a voltage drop across the resistance (Ohm's law).More fundamentally, the light bulb is producing light, which is a form of energy. The voltage drop across the light bulb comes from the fact that electrical energy is being turned into light. If voltage didn't drop, you would be producing energy from nothing. Furthermore, if there were no voltage drop, your circuit would behave the same whether you had no light bulbs, one light bulb, or eighteen million light bulbs - something that clearly can't be the case.

Why transformers were made?

A transformer is an electrical device that takes electricity of one voltage and changes it into another voltage.

What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?

The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.

How are electrical testers used in practice?

Electrical testers are used to determine if electricity is flowing through a circuit. An electrical tester such as a voltage meter can be used. To use the meter, insert the end of the tester into the socket or next to the electrical wire to be tested. If there is electricity flowing then the meter may beep or flash.


What is an electrical circit?

The path through which a current flows is called a circuita electrical line that voltage runs through


What are the three electrical guantities?

The three electrical quantities are current voltage and resistance. Current is measured in amperes (A) and is the rate at which electricity flows through a conductor. Voltage is measured in volts (V) and is the electrical force pushing the current through the conductor. Resistance is measured in ohms () and is the opposition to the flow of current. Current - measured in amperes (A) Voltage - measured in volts (V) Resistance - measured in ohms ()


Why is sine wave used in electrical voltage generation?

It isn't as such, it is a consequence of generating electricity using a rotary method - the voltage generated is proportional to the sin of the angle between the magnetic field and the coil, and the angle changes due to rotation.


What does voltage cause the flow of?

there is a difference in electrical potential energy.
