The values of the resistors are selected such that R 1 gives the highest load resistance, R 1 ||R 2 gives the nominal load resistance and either R 1 ||R 2 ||R 3 or R 2 ||R 3 gives the lowest load resistance. A voltmeter is then connected in parallel to the resistors and the measured values of voltage for each load state can be used to calculate ...
The output voltage of a voltage divider will vary according to the electric current it is supplying to its external electrical load. The effective source impedance coming from a divider of Z 1 and Z 2, as above, will be Z 1 in parallel with Z 2 (sometimes written Z 1 // Z 2), that is: (Z 1 Z 2) / (Z 1 + Z 2) = HZ 1.
The output impedance is a measure of the source's propensity to drop in voltage when the load draws current, the source network being the portion of the network that transmits and the load network being the portion of the network that consumes. Because of this the output impedance is sometimes referred to as the source impedance or internal ...
In this case, a separate shunt, a resistor of very low but accurately known resistance, is placed in parallel with a voltmeter, so that virtually all of the current to be measured will flow through the shunt (provided that the very high internal resistance of the voltmeter takes such a low portion of the current that it can be considered ...
Voltage follower or impedance-matching transformers are often used for these effects. The input impedance for high-impedance amplifiers (such as vacuum tubes, field effect transistor amplifiers and op-amps) is often specified as a resistance in parallel with a capacitance (e.g., 2.2 MΩ ∥ 1 pF).
The Voltage Regulation formula could be visualized with the following: "Consider power being delivered to a load such that the voltage at the load is the load's rated voltage V Rated, if then the load disappears, the voltage at the point of the load will rise to V nl."
A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is connected in parallel . It usually has a high resistance so that it takes negligible current from the circuit.
The load line diagram at right is for a resistive load in a common emitter circuit. The load line shows how the collector load resistor (R L ) constrains the circuit voltage and current. The diagram also plots the transistor's collector current I C versus collector voltage V CE for different values of base current I base .
