Electronics (Mike Jaroch)

The 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].

(1) The term used to signify electrical pressure. Voltage is a force that causes current to flow through an electrical conductor. (2) The voltage of a circuit is the greatest effective difference of potential between any two conductors of the circuit [1].

An amplifier in which the output-signal voltage is greater than the input-signal
voltage [8].

A series network in which desired portions of the source voltage may be tapped
off for use in the circuit [1].

The 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].

The ratio of output voltage to input voltage in an amplifier [6].

Methods of increasing voltages; used primarily where low current is required [7].

A 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].

A series-diode detector in which the diode is in series with the input voltage and the load impedance [12].

Same as END-FEED METHOD [10].
