  2. Voltage divider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider

    The divider output (V out) appears on the connector adjacent to the cable. A voltage divider can be used to scale down a very high voltage so that it can be measured by a volt meter. The high voltage is applied across the divider, and the divider output—which outputs a lower voltage that is within the meter's input range—is measured by the ...

  3. Voltage drop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_drop

    In electronics, voltage drop is the decrease of electric potential along the path of a current flowing in a circuit. Voltage drops in the internal resistance of the source, across conductors, across contacts, and across connectors are undesirable because some of the energy supplied is dissipated.

  4. Coefficients of potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficients_of_potential

    The coefficients of potential are the coefficients p ij. φ i should be correctly read as the potential on the i -th conductor, and hence " p 21 {\displaystyle p_{21}} " is the p due to charge 1 on conductor 2.

  5. Capacity utilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_utilization

    Capacity utilization or capacity utilisation is the extent to which a firm or nation employs its installed productive capacity (maximum output of a firm or nation). It is the relationship between output that is produced with the installed equipment, and the potential output which could be produced with it, if capacity was fully used. [1]

  6. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    Simplified model for powering a load with resistance R L by a source with voltage V S and resistance R S.. The theorem was originally misunderstood (notably by Joule [4]) to imply that a system consisting of an electric motor driven by a battery could not be more than 50% efficient, since the power dissipated as heat in the battery would always be equal to the power delivered to the motor when ...

  7. Output gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_gap

    The calculation for the output gap is (Y–Y*)/Y* where Y is actual output and Y* is potential output. If this calculation yields a positive number it is called an inflationary gap and indicates the growth of aggregate demand is outpacing the growth of aggregate supply—possibly creating inflation; if the calculation yields a negative number it is called a recessionary gap—possibly ...

  8. Open-circuit voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_voltage

    The potential difference mentioned for batteries and cells is usually the open-circuit voltage. The value of the open-circuit voltage of a transducer equals its electromotive force (emf), which is the maximum potential difference it can produce when not providing current.

  9. Goldman equation - Wikipedia
