VOLTThe unit of electromotive force or electrical pressure. One volt is the pressure required to send 1 ampere of current through a resistance of 1 ohm [1]. | ||
VOLTAGE AMPLIFIERAn amplifier in which the output-signal voltage is greater than the input-signal voltage [8]. | ||
VOLTAGE DIVIDERA series network in which desired portions of the source voltage may be tapped off for use in the circuit [1]. | ||
VOLTAGE DROPThe difference in voltage between two points. It is the result of the loss of electrical pressure as a current flows through a resistance [1] [4]. | ||
VOLTAGE GAINThe ratio of output voltage to input voltage in an amplifier [6]. | ||
VOLTAGE MULTIPLIERSMethods of increasing voltages; used primarily where low current is required [7]. | ||
VOLTAGE REGULATIONA measure of the ability of a generator or power supply to maintain a constant output voltage from no-load to full-load operation. Expressed as a percentage of full-load voltage; the better the regulation, the lower the percent [5]. | ||
VOLTAGE-DIODE DETECTORA series-diode detector in which the diode is in series with the input voltage and the load impedance [12]. | ||
VOLTAGE-FEED METHODSame as END-FEED METHOD [10]. | ||
