because voltage is the 'electrical potential difference'. since a "difference" can only be evaluated between two points so is voltage :)

What is the total voltage of 2 1.5 voltage cells where the minus is facing the minus?

1.5V if measured across the + and - terminals, otherwise 0V. When measured at points with identical potential (voltage), there is no difference between voltage levels and no current flows.


What is the potential difference between 2 points in a circuit called?

Voltage drop


What you measure voltage into?

You measure voltage using a voltmeter which involves measuring the electrical potential difference between 2 points in an electrical circuit.


What is called an angle?

1).angle is nothing but the deviation among two points. when two points are lie on a same line those two points are said to be collinear.that means the angle between them is 180 because they lie along a line. so according to the deviation between the points the angle is measured. 2).the angles are measured in degrees.


What move does the denominator of the slope describe?

It is the difference between the coordinates of two points in 2-dimensional space, measured in the horizontal direction.


The distance between 2 point is called?

It is simply called the distance between the two points - simple as that. How that distance is measured will depend on the nature of the surface on which the two points are located as well as on the metric for measuring distance that is defined on that space.The common metric in Euclidean space is the Pythagorean distance while on the surface of a sphere (like the Earth, for example), distances are measured along the great arc.


What happens to the voltage as the number of flowing electrons increases?

Voltage is the potential difference between two points. It is commonly measured by a voltmeter with 2 probes, each one touching the two points. Flowing electrons do not depend on voltage. They depend on the voltage difference between two points. Same as saying a ball does not run along a road merely if the road is at high altitude. Only if the altitude is falling along the road will the ball run in that direction. And the steeper the road, the faster it goes. The currents that flow in a wire is not directly caused by increases in the number of electrons (in a metal, the concentration of electrons is constant at all normal voltages and doesn't vary with current) but how rapidly the voltage changes as you go along the wire ("the electric field", measured in volts per cm). If you force in more flowing electrons from a source connected to it, the volts per cm increases so that the current carries away the supplied flow.


What is the line voltage between two lines?

the voltage between 1 line & phase =120v The voltage between 2 line =240


How match 2 phase line voltage between them?

To match 2 phase line voltage it has to be the same voltage.


Differentiate distance and displacement?

Distance has no concept of direction and can be measured even if a person walks 2 miles in the shape of a triangle, he or she has still walked 2 miles. Displacement, however, it the distance measured between two particular points in a certain direction.


How does a Thermo-coupler work when it has 2-wires connected approx halfway up the copper what does the 2-wires do?

It will measure the temperature difference between two points and convert it to voltage signal.


What is maximum wavelength in the spectrum?

The wavelength is the spatial period of the wave and it can be measured between any 2 points with the same phase. The maximum wavelength in the spectrum is 502 nm.
