What unit shows the difference in charge between two points?
I don't think such a unit is used, or would make much sense, in physics. That sounds like the description of voltage - unit volt. However, the volt is not really a difference in electric charge, but rather, of electric potential. It can be understood as potential energy related to electric fields: if there is an electric potential between two points, it requires a certain amount of energy to move a unit charge from one point to the other. Thus, the unit volt is equivalent to joules / coulomb.
Can electronvolt converted to millivolt?
No; electron-volt is a measure of energy, not of voltage (or potential).
What does power factor mean in math?
power factor is the cosine of the angular difference between current and voltage and must be taken into account to get true power (watts)
What is an electrical path between two points?
the answer is voltage
What is the voltage between points B and C?
.75 V
What is a voltage divider circuit?
The voltage divider circuit is a network of two or more components in series, often resistors, between a potential difference. The voltage between the components will be somewhere between the potential difference across the whole network and so divides the total voltage into one or more intermediate voltages.
How does a voltage divider work?
The essential circuit of a voltage divider, also called a potential divider, is:
What is the voltage divider theorem?
it is aa linear circuit that produces the output voltage from the fraction of its input. It is also known as potential divider.
What is the difference between a voltage divider circuit and voltage regulator I was told if the circuit consumes low current then the voltage divider can be used what does that mean?
A: that is true for less current a divider is OK it has to do with the series resistance and loading if the loading is forever fixed and the source is also fixed at a value then a divider can be used no matter what the current is.
What are the differences between voltage and potential difference?
Voltage is the potential difference to the ground. By convention, ground potential is zero volt.The above answer is incorrect. 'Voltage', by definition, is potential difference. It has nothing to do with being measured with respect to ground -in fact potential difference (voltage) cannot be measured with respect to anything.
How can you get the largest voltage difference?
There is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'! 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', so what you appear to be asking is "How do you get the largest potential difference difference?'! Potential difference is caused by the separation of charges between two points. The greater the amount of charge separation, the greater the potential difference.
Is voltage the same as potential?
volt drop and potential difference are effectively the same thing, although the term volt drop is usually used in reference of what voltage has to occur for a diode to conduct, or what volt drop is expected across a long wire etc, potential difference is used to refer to the difference in voltage over a potential divider.
Define the 'potential difference between the ends of a conductor'?
The potential difference between the ends of a conductor is called voltage.
What is the importance of voltage?
importance of voltage is the potential difference between two points.
What is voltage difference?
Voltage at a point is defined as the work done by a unit positive charge carrying it from infinity to that point. while volage diffrance between two points is the work done bye unit positive charge from one point to the other point.work may be positive or negative depend upon the nature of charge that's why the potential will be negative or positive .CommentBy definition, voltage means potential difference. For this reason, you cannot have 'a voltage at a point' because potential difference, or voltage, exists between two points. You can, however, have a potential at a point.
Why placing the ammeter between the potential divider and the voltmeter will give an incorrect value?
beacause ammeter is use to measure the current not to measure the voltage
What does a battery create between terminals?
Potential difference (voltage)
