  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. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Coefficients of potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficients_of_potential

    In this example, we employ the method of coefficients of potential to determine the capacitance on a two-conductor system. For a two-conductor system, the system of linear equations is ϕ 1 = p 11 Q 1 + p 12 Q 2 ϕ 2 = p 21 Q 1 + p 22 Q 2 . {\displaystyle {\begin{matrix}\phi _{1}=p_{11}Q_{1}+p_{12}Q_{2}\\\phi _{2}=p_{21}Q_{1}+p_{22}Q_{2}\end ...

  6. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    First order LTI systems are characterized by the differential equation + = where τ represents the exponential decay constant and V is a function of time t = (). The right-hand side is the forcing function f(t) describing an external driving function of time, which can be regarded as the system input, to which V(t) is the response, or system output.

  7. 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 ...

  8. 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]

  9. Overshoot (signal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overshoot_(signal)

    An important application of the term is to the output signal of an amplifier. [4] Usage: Overshoot occurs when the transitory values exceed final value. When they are lower than the final value, the phenomenon is called "undershoot". A circuit is designed to minimize rise time while containing distortion of the signal within acceptable limits.
