  2. Electronvolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronvolt

    An electronvolt is the amount of energy gained or lost by a single electron when it moves through an electric potential difference of one volt.Hence, it has a value of one volt, which is 1 J/C, multiplied by the elementary charge e = 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 C. [2]

  3. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    The SI unit of electric potential energy is joule (named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule). In the CGS system the erg is the unit of energy, being equal to 10 −7 Joules. Also electronvolts may be used, 1 eV = 1.602×10 −19 Joules.

  4. Voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage

    The SI unit of work per unit charge is the joule per coulomb, where 1 volt = 1 joule (of work) per 1 coulomb of charge. [citation needed] The old SI definition for volt used power and current; starting in 1990, the quantum Hall and Josephson effect were used, [10] and in 2019 physical constants were given defined values for the definition of all SI units.

  5. Voltage ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_ladder

    A voltage drop occurs across each resistor in the network causing each successive "rung" of the ladder (each node of the circuit) to have a higher voltage than the previous one. Since the ladder is a series circuit, the current is the same throughout, and is given by the total voltage divided by the total series resistance (V/R eq).

    Transistor–transistor logic/CMOS (TTL) power supply: 5 V; USB: 5 V DC; PP3 battery: 9 V; Automotive battery systems use cells with 2.1 volts per cell; a "12 V" battery has six cells connected in series, which produces 12.6 V; a "24 V" battery has 12 cells connected in series, producing 25.2 V. Some antique vehicles use "6 V" 3-cell batteries ...

  7. Level (logarithmic quantity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_(logarithmic_quantity)

    If the power quantity P is proportional to F 2, and if the reference value of the power quantity, P 0, is in the same proportion to F 0 2, the levels L F and L P are equal. The neper , bel , and decibel (one tenth of a bel) are units of level that are often applied to such quantities as power, intensity, or gain. [ 6 ]

  9. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    The output power of a motor is the product of the torque that the motor generates and the angular velocity of its output shaft. Likewise, the power dissipated in an electrical element of a circuit is the product of the current flowing through the element and of the voltage across the element. [1] [2]
