  2. Load line (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_line_(electronics)

    The load line, usually a straight line, represents the response of the linear part of the circuit, connected to the nonlinear device in question. The points where the characteristic curve and the load line intersect are the possible operating point (s) ( Q points ) of the circuit; at these points the current and voltage parameters of both parts ...

  3. Load regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_regulation

    is the voltage at maximum load. The maximum load is the one that draws the greatest current, i.e. the lowest specified load resistance (never short circuit); is the voltage at minimum load. The minimum load is the one that draws the least current, i.e. the highest specified load resistance (possibly open circuit for some types of linear ...

  4. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    Schematic representation of a circuit where a source is coupled to a load with a transmission line having characteristic impedance The characteristic impedance or surge impedance (usually written Z 0 ) of a uniform transmission line is the ratio of the amplitudes of voltage and current of a wave travelling in one direction along the line in the ...

  5. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    For example, in order to match an inductive load into a real impedance, a capacitor needs to be used. If the load impedance becomes capacitive, the matching element must be replaced by an inductor. In many cases, there is a need to use the same circuit to match a broad range of load impedance and thus simplify the circuit design.

  6. Negative resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance

    The DC load line (DCL) is a straight line determined by the DC bias circuit, with equation = where is the DC bias supply voltage and R is the resistance of the supply. The possible DC operating point(s) occur where the DC load line intersects the I–V curve. For stability [103]

  7. Pulse-forming network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-forming_network

    The source end of the line is approximately an open circuit due to the high R S, [1] so the step is reflected uninverted and travels back down the line toward the load. The result is that a pulse of voltage is applied to the load with a duration equal to 2 D / c , where D is the length of the line, and c is the propagation velocity of the pulse ...

  8. Electrical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

    An electrical load is an electrical component or portion of a circuit that consumes (active) electric power, [1] [2] such as electrical appliances and lights inside the home. The term may also refer to the power consumed by a circuit. This is opposed to a power supply source, such as a battery or generator, which provides power. [2]

  9. Network analysis (electrical circuits) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_analysis...

    A current from one terminal of a generator, through load component(s) and back into the other terminal. A circuit is, in this sense, a one-port network and is a trivial case to analyse. If there is any connection to any other circuits then a non-trivial network has been formed and at least two ports must exist.
